I'd recommend the MDC 2-8-0, since it's in kit form, you'll have plenty of extra parts to detail your engine to your specific needs. you'll want the 2-8-0 Old Time Consolidation, not the 2-8-0 Old Time Consolidation outside from them. be wary, the MDC 2-8-0 comes in 5 different styles, of varying timeframes, you want ref# of 480-486. They also have your 4-6-0 in kit form as well, with all the extras, you definately could make it look just like what you want. you'll probably want the Harriman Style for your area. if you're shooting for early line, and go with the 2-6-0, get their 51" driver version. Again, in kit form. I'd also recommend the MDC 4-4-0, again, since it's a kit. All this and more can be found at http://www.mdcroundhouse.com/ Believe me you'll love the kits, they'll give you plenty to do, as well as teach you how steam engines work and what is what. Besides, the extra smaoke stacks and other parts can be used to enhance your structures to make truely interesting buildings. Also, the MDC kit's will run you between $65-$85, where-as a RTR enguine of others will run you anywhere, for a good runner, from $150-$600. The Kit's aren't DCC ready, but you can easily add a decoder to them while you build them. making engines DCC'd is easy, just a little soldering and following instructions. Jay
