Not all 1880s locomotives had wagon top boilers...not by a long shot. The mogul, while not a classic wagon top boilered Brooks 2-6-0, is a decent starting point for my favorite 2-6-0s...the Cooke locomotives built for the South Park and Colorado Central. Similarly, the OF 2-8-0 is a decent starting point for the Oahu Railway 2-8-0s and 0-6-0s built between 1897 and 1916. And I'm planning another to be SG&N #34. I do have hopes to save one of the IF 4-4-0s...they may be appropriate for OR&L #15 (actually smaller than the B-man model).
I really enjoy scratch building...and it is the only way to get accurate cars for many of my favorite prototypes...most of which are from the 1870s and 1880s.
I think can agree, it would be great to see an affordable 8-18C 4-4-0, a Brooks 2-6-0, a Porter-Bell Class-C, and a 30ton Baldwin 2-8-0. The 4 basic food groups for 19th century narrow gauge railroads.

My primary goal is a large Oahu Railway layout in On3
My secondary interests are modeling the Denver, South Park, & Pacific in On3 and NKP in HO
