Thank you sir!

Gentlemen,

Does anyone know the smokebox diameter (in scale inches) of the Spectrum 2-8-0?  Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Does anyone know of a webpage containing a diagram of the Maine Central Lt. 4-6-2 shown on the first page?  The MC 4-6-2 looks similar in size to the ACLO Lt 4-6-2s owned by the FEC and L&N (ex L.H.&St.L).  I'm curious to know how closely the MC locomotive dimensions compare to the FEC and L&N locomotives (the latter two share many key dimensions).   IF found to be similar, Bachmann would be able to offer a 4-6-2 for the MC, L&N, FEC (ACL, L&A, and a myriad of southeastern shortlines that purchased FEC 4-6-2s) in addition to any other railroads found to own similar ALCO 4-6-2s.  Bachmann's willingness to offer variations in details such as valve gear, cabs, tenders, etc. would make the ALCO Lt. 4-6-2 a viable candidate for a future model.  Oh well I guess we all have our own favorite locomotive wish list - mine being Baldwin Lt 4-6-2s, 0-6-0s, 2-8-0s, etc.........).  Thanks in advance for any feedback on the MC locomotive diagram.
