I took a Spectrum heavy mountain and Spectrum J shell and made a K2. I cut off the Bullet nose and removed all the extra length on the front of the boiler. I also shortened the firebox on the forward end so it didn't over lap the rear driver. I am sure a Light mountain could be used as well. I used the spectum J shell since it comes apart into multiple pieces and is easier to slice and dice accordingly. The old J shell could be used as well.<br>
