They offer two 4-6-0s...
one looks like a harriman (SP/UP/IC) locomotive and was originally from Varney. They call it the "Casey Jones ten-wheeler"...but it isn't close to his 1890s express 4-6-0.
There other is a Pennsy G5. It probably has 69" drivers (68" is correct, but Bowser doesn't offer those...and its pretty tough to tell in HO and it would vary slightly on the real thing based on the wear/replacement of the tires).
I suspect that the "Casey Jones" would be the better for you, since it is less distinct and an earlier design...but it might need more detailing help than the G5.

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
