Converting a 2-10-0 to a 0-10-0.

As the I1was a road engine, it has 62" drivers. It could reach 50 mph. The C&O 0-10-0, a hump and transfer engine, had 51" drivers. I think the Union had 57" drivers, but I'm not sure on that. An 0-10-0 with 62" drivers may not look right. The B&O 2-8-0s were light enough to downgrade to switching service without the leading truck, though they also had 62" drivers, I think. B&O converted some 2-10-2s to 0-10-0. A heftier boiler on the Spectrum 2-10-0 minus the lead truck might look better, but what a lot of work. <br />smyers
