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.

Subject: [CBQ] Questions about brass Overland 4-8-2 and painting
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
