Ray, Guess I should have specified the K-5B like #9240. The Bowser K-11 Pacific would be a good starting point for the 9227. The K-5B had 79" drivers. A bit large to fit the Bowser K-11 frame. IHC and Rivarossi stretched the wheelbases to allow for the larger flanges and allows enough room for the larger drivers with "normal" flanges. I had also thought of using a Hudson chassis as a starting point. I really think kit-bashing is the way to go if you want a specific steam locomotive, but I realize not everyone is into that. There are people who will custom build a locomotive for you. Give them your business. Why wait? How much would you pay for a custom built locomotive? Ray
