Uintah 2-6-6-2 vs Mantua 2-6-6-2
#1
Has anyone ever measured the Mantua 2-6-6-2 and compared the dimensions to the Uintah 2-6-6-2 that it was based off of? Does anyone know what the boiler diameter, boiler length, and cab width are on the Mantua and how they compare to the Uintah locomotive? I have heard Mantua took the Uintah 2-6-6-2 dimensions and "re-gauged" and re-proportioned the engine to a standard-gauge model. Would this be a suitable conversion for Sn3 or even On3 to produce a reasonable model of this locomotive? Not that I necessarily want to tackle such a project, but i am curious as to why it is not a common conversion.
