Thanks for your response. I think I'll try to find one of these.

Terry,
I have an R-1 I bought when they came out. They seemed to sneak in as
there wasn't much hoopla about them. Mine sat in a box for a long time
before I painted it and even yet I have not run it too much as it
doesn't fit my time period so I have to make up a museum train.
Question
1. It is accurate for the Q's R-1.
2. It does run well. Nice and smooth. I have pulled six cars and waycar
up a curved grade on local club.
If it fits your operations it is a good engine to have.

Plate. Up until now, I didn't know that anyone had ever made a R1. According
to the BRHS roster, the Q had 4 of these, numbered 1700-1703. Is this model
very prototypical of the CB&Q? Does it run well? In the past there has been
some discussion about Nickel Plate's 4-6-0 K2 but I have not noticed
anything on a 2-6-2.
