Found this idea on John Ott's old time train site.

The Tyco/Mantua Ten-Wheeler boiler can be fit to the Roundhouse old time mechanism.
Doug Tagsold used the MDC/Athearn/Roundhouse HO 2-8-0 for his Scale172 locos. The loco mechanism matches the first generation narrow gauge consolidations. 14mm Scale Link drivers give us the correct 40" driver size. A boiler from the Tyco/Mantua Ten-Wheeler gives us a boiler.
Locomotives were proportional the same setup can be used for a HO early era consolidation.
Have the mechanism running smoothly.
Here is the loco in large scale:
