sorry, of course, I'm not used to the train modeller proportions systems. 54 mm refers to the size of the figurine, so this would be 1/32 scale. I've tried my local libraries, but not very much on trains, and since I live in Belgium, also not much (certainly not very well illustrated books) about the civil war. Going to Baltimore is of course totally out of the question in short term... My plan is to model only a very small part of the destroyed locomotive, just enough to set the figure of in an original way. So I was thinking about a very distorted part of the front, maybe with pieces of the chimney, headlight or a wheel next to it. Very little, but recognizable as a steam locomotive. Of course I'll have to scratchbuild this, but don't worry about the degree of difficulty, I've had much worse! So for me this train is in fact nice decoration to present another model (the figure), but I find it still very important to get it historically as correct and realistic as possible. And that's why I'm contacting the specialists! Thanks for taking the time to answer my completely ignorant questions! Cheers! Marijn
