I have recently been designing a new engine for my railroad, the McKinzie and Western. (otherwise know as "MaW") Because of the heavy coal drags and long freights that frequently climb the steep McKinzie Pass, the MaW needed an engine strong enough to get the trains over the pass. This is where the new engine came in. It is the "McKinzie Class" 0-10-4.

Now, I need an engine to start with, probably being Bachmann's new Santa Fe 2-10-4. I also looked into Broadway Limited's 2-10-4, but for the prototype, I decided to go a little cheaper.

If anyone has tips or suggestions, please tell me. Help is always welcome when it comes to engine bashing!
