color:#1F497D'>There are several choices of a 2-8-2 with 63” drivers as a
starting point for the chassis. The boiler? Check out the diameter of the
courses on a USRA 2-8-8-2 boiler. Pretty much the same, just shorter. Of course
you wouldn’t want to waste a Proto Y3, but how about the boiler from an
AHM/Rivarossi Y6b? Biggest problem would be moving the cylinders for the 4
wheel lead truck and the new rods this would require. Tender, of course, is now
available. Not true when Jim Teese did his E3, but his use of the Bachmann
auxiliary (the old one) suggests that the new one would be a good economical
starting place. Or you could just rob one from the Proto
Y3. Jim Nichols<o:p></o:p></span></p>
