Kevin,

I think that there is a problem here in concept. If this engine
is modeled as a Lignite burner then it would not have operated
in Illinois/Missouri.

While others have done a fine job describing the pluses and minuses
of the model you also might need to make a locational decision.

Of course if it is such a good model and you can get it painted
up just right the locational problem might be ignored. Even the
O-4 would be hard to sell as being used in that area. I don't
think they ever were.

  Hi,

  I am new to this group (and to brass locomotives).  I am modeling the 
  late 1930's CB&Q in Illinois/Missouri and would like to get the 
  group's opinions on the Overland 4-8-2.  Is this an accurate model of 
  a CB&Q engine?  How about running characterics?  I would eventually 
  convert it to DCC.

  Also, are there any recommendations for a good painter for brass 
  locomotives?

  Thanks!
  Kevin W
