The Pennsy would have to be the one to start with. The Hornby isn't a straight boiler so a more work would have to be done to it. Now I don't have a MDC PRR 2-8-0, but I do have a Hornby 2-8-0. So you use what you got. And I won't be doing this in even the distant future. To much else on the to do list.
Is that a CNJ SW behind the 8F? Nice but the Hornby 8f is in OO scale and would need a bit of cutting down / filling in, and kit bashing. There was an article back in the early 1990's about converting an MDC/Roundhouse HO Harriman 2-8-0 into an OO s160 in one of the British mags.
