Hi gerry,

I am not sure I totally understand what you are asking, but unfortunately the currently available chassis for your 4-6-0's are not exact matches for your locomotives as far as matching the paint.  your B&O 90016 has the blue painted chassis and steam chests and driver counterweights.  For your B&O locomotive you would have to buy the best possible match and paint the chassis parts to match the boiler.  The same is true for your 90021 Circus locomotive, it has the red steam chests and wheel spokes so again you would have to buy the best possible match and paint the chassis parts to match the red on the boiler air tanks.

As for the 90059 White pass loco it seems the replacement chassis 90031 is very close here is the link:

If the paint match is not important or if you are willing to do a little painting you could buy three of the above chassis and just live with them or do the painting.

The plus side is that this chassis is on sale for $40 and it is the latest Big Hauler version 5 chassis.

Have fun!!
