   3rd page in the photo gallery for the 4-6-0 show the fluted domes as extras.

  Cannot remember which question it came under, but the Bachmann implied all
of the extra  parts would be with each engine.

  As all the steel cabbed engines come with an extra set of fluted domes, in all likly hood the wood cabbed engine will be supplied with a extra set of round domes.

   A look at the 4-6-0 photos shows #28697 has the required Wood Cab/ plus

    OK
   Either of the FCAB Kitson-Meyers.  A 2-6-0+0-6-2T or HERCULES a 2-6-0+0-6-4T.
  Built for 2ft 6in service in Chile.
    Or any of the K-M  2-6-0+0-6-2T built for either the Garardot or Columbian National Rlys (3ft).

   Still trying to find suitable drives for building them.

  Just as a note the Braden Copper Company ran 3truck 60 & 80 Ton SHAY's
  FCAB operated 85 ton Kitson-Meyers a 2-6-0+0-6-2T and a 2-6-0+0-6-4T
  RFRIT  Mitsubishi 2-10-2s are light weights at 48 Tons
  VRlys Beyer-Garratts  2-6-0+0-6-2T are  69Tons
  PN     Baldwins   OF 2-8-2  50Tons
           Henschel    IF 2-8-2    47 Tons
  SLGRly Beyer-Garratts 4-8-2+2-8-4T 66 Tons

  What they have in common is they are all 2ft 6in gauge.

  If Bachmann produces a OF 2-8-2 my vote go's to the Patagonia National
engine's ,  #1-25, built by Baldwin. A few are still in tourist service on the Esquel
line.

  Not thinking they would ever build the RFRIT  2-10-2s though, for those that want 2&1/2ft Superpower!. <BG>

   With a length of 43ft divide by 4 and you get 10&3/4inchs in length. just looking at
the plans from MR.

  Ingenio Angelina #9 "Milan" appears to be the protoype for the 2-6-6-2 which operated in the Dominican Republic. Built by Baldwin in 1908. Compound engine.

   Have 3 on order from LHS, will have to take a look at MR  for the review.
  As they are based on Cowans Sheldon TT, sure I can fit them in with my
modelling plans for my South American system.<G>

  Another manufactor of a B-G engine is Redfern Models Pty Ltd (Australia)
  They are working on a second run of a G-42s  2-6-0+0-6-2T.  have one
  on order.

  Another option? International Hobbies sells an Australian AD-60, a
4-8-4+4-8-4, possible conversion? to a Sierra Leone 4-8-2+2-8-4 built for
  2ft 6in gauge

  One day I will get my Kitson-Meyer 2-6-0+0-6-2T asembled and running,
just to many thing's going on at the moment.

  For a Vest pocket 4-6-2, google "Brecon Mountain Railway" and take a look at  their #2, a Baldwin export engine built for South Africa and used 
on a cement hauling railway.   2 foot gauge.

  Shipped to England and restored for operation on the Brecon Mountain
Railway,  could be tempted to get a model of it.

[I can't help but wonder about Colombia and whether they had 4-6-2s. However, that's a country I'd prefer to railfan by builder's archive rather than visit myself.

  Columbia operated 4 Pacifics
  2 Baldwin            SN 41677&41678   1914  Antioquia #13&14
  1 B.M.A.G.            SN 8915     3cyl      1928  Pacifico # 48

  A quick scratch test, shows white as the casting color of the plastic.
as a side note "Black" styrene is the most expensive, this from a friend of  mine who worked in a styrene plant producing the raw material.

  Glad you found Frateschi site, I usually check posting to make sure
address works, had to leave for PT work, ran out of time.

  As a side  note, there is another company in SA that produces  a
  Shovel nose diesel (WP&Y) in HO based on the first order of units which went to SA, 4 years before the WP&Y got theirs. But! for the life of me I cannot find their web site again. Cannot even remember which country
they were in, believe it was Argentina (but don't quote me)
