It is still a big job. The crossheads are different,
as are the cylinder steam pipes. Even the frame lenth
is different, due to the fact that the LMB was a
stoker equipped engine with the frame extended 18".
The L&B front end will be a real challege. Of course,
the main drivers are the same, as is the driving wheel
base. Except for the smokebox, the boilers are the
same. And the 5020 did have an O-1A sand dome.
