Rich -
I have looked at kitbashing a C&S 600 from the Spectrum model, and the basic
dimensions are fairly close, except for the C&S tender, which is shorter. The
cab needs some modification, stack, domes and headlight need to be replaced,
and Walshearts valve gear installed. The rest is smaller appliances and
piping, which depends on which 600 you are modeling. It should not take too
much work to make a presentable 600, depending on how close you want to make it.
