Thanks for your input, guys. I think I'll look around at hobby shops for the Bowser Consolidation to compare with the Spectrum. I have some experience with MDC kits (built, rebuilt, and tweaked a 2-truck Shay), and I am not too crazy about their accuracy, detailing, or performance. I am not very familiar with Bowser locos, so that's worth a look. The IHC model sounds a bit plain. I know I'll be rebuilding and super-detailing this loco anyways, so I am really looking for a good running, well constructed base model without a lot of molded-on boiler piping that I'll have to scrape off. Brass is too expensive, but I am willing to pay a bit more for a high-quality plastic and metal loco - it's going to be an important local fraight engine on my fictional layout. <br /> <br />Thanks for your help!!
