MDC/ROUNDHOUSE locomotive rebuilds

The CNR had over 300 N-class Consolidations with 63" drivers, and I'd guess CPR might have had a similar number (they were a big proponent of 10-Wheelers). The Harriman roads likely had an enormous number of high-drivered Consolidations too, the prototype upon which the MDC model is based.

My original Grand Valley had an MDC Consolidation:



...and also an MDC Ten-Wheeler:



While they were a bit on the noisy side, they ran and pulled well and their gearing kept the speeds more prototypical than many locos of that time.
