Twhite You can make anytbing from anything if you have major resources or are willing to comprimise big time. The Z6 and Z8 had very large fireboxes to burn their available coal. My books are packed, but I believe they had an additional 20% larger, read longer firebox. No tonly the length of the firebox would have to be overcome, but the domes, Cab, air pums, pilot and most other items on the engine iare just different from the UP challenger. Even the tender is much different, on the Z6, but the Z8 did have the centiped trucks. The Z6 would have to have a tender fabicated from scratch. If you are very good at kitbashing, anything is possible, but at best most of it would be comprimised. Cheer up, I believe that BLI or someone out there might just build you a Z8 in the future. They were always popular as PFM, Key and several other Importers have sold as many as they made.
