P2K does not make a 2-8-0, their 0-6-0 runs like a watch, but on the other hand the 0-8-0 is not has good. The 0-8-0 was out first,it came out about 4 yrs ago,ther problem with it is that it has no pick-ups in the tender. There is alot of stalling on switches. They fixed the problem on the 0-6-0. I have 2 0-8-0's i contacted Lifelike to see if i could get the pick-ups from the 0-6-0 No they don't carry any parts! (this is the main thing i want to see come out of Walthers take over of Proto,to have parts in stock!!!) But they did tell me at LifeLike when i called that there is a guy in Canada that makes a kit to put the pick-ups in the 0-8-0s tender. Call lifelikes 800 num. and they will give you this number to buy the kit. I never have gotten around to doing it myself. HZRMac the ones you saw in MR where the new run of 0-8-0s coming soon.
