Drivers' 2-8-0 vs 2-10-0

[GN.2-6-8-0]

I'm thinking of buying the sound equipted 2-8-0 to doublehead or use as a pusher with my 2-10-0, question is are the drivers on these two engines the same diameter or at least close enough .
Or their both being DCC will it matter as we can use seperate throttles one controlling each locomotive.

The Spectrum 2-8-0 is a 'large' Consolidation. The Spectrum 2-10-0 is a 'Russian Decapod' which is quite small.

I don't have the driver information at hand, but the 2-8-0 will move at a different speed because of the drivers. ... generally, I think, it will tend to move faster.

If you are running DCC it may work ... i am not DCC savy. But I know you will have problems if you use a 2-8-0 to push a 2-10-0 in the Spectrum series using DC/Analog power

I would think that the 2-8-0 would be the road locomotive  and the 2-10-0 would be the helper.  with dcc you can control each locomotive
