John,
If you have any modeling skills, (don't have to be a "master modeler") the
BWL 2-8-2 makes into a very nice class O-4. You can add a worthing or elesco
feed water systems to the engine, fabracate an oil bunker out of plastic or
brass, and a few other minor changes and presto, you have a nice
representation of the O-4, it may not be 100% right on, but it comes close
and looks good. I modified my BLW and added the elesco feed water and it
sure looks nice, with great sound. Thinking of getting another one and do it
up with the Worthington feed water
Good luck
