Bachmann drivers are too big, about 60" vs. 57". An old PFM Santa Fe 1951
class 2-8-0 is probably a better starting point. Note the B4R class (built
by Alco predecessors) have 15-spoke drivers, but the B4R1s (Baldwin have 13
spoke). UP or SP Harriman 2-8-0s have 13-spoke drivers. The Bachmann N
scale 2-8-0 has smaller drivers, so the mechanism is pretty close for C&S.
I think they are 15-spoke, but not sure.

Subject: [CBQ] C&S 600 series 2-8-0 from Bachmann 2-8-0?
> I want to have some C&S 600 series 2-8-0s for my C&S layout. I am looking
at the Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 as a possible starting point. Has anyone
considered such a project? Are the drive and boiler diameters even close?
Other issues, problems? Successes?
