I'll just add.....the balance point of the loco without tender, should be at the center of the "driver wheelbase", in this case ( 2-8-2 ) between the second and third driver sets.( If the frame had fully equalized suspension, it would balance at the center of the total wheelbase )
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
