Johnathan,
Can't find anything on Bachman's site so that sketch is it.
I can't tell wheelbase or driver dia. from the sketch, but what I see.
Boiler -close to some, need to move bell and change headlight(Cary)
pilot - close
drivers - counter weights are curved, should be square
tender - flange wrong for some but OK for others but coal bin too long,
need to shorten up - need tool box(PSC), steps wrong - modify.
tender trk - model has arch bar, Bowser "reading" type is similar.
Big problem is the sketch seems to show the cab behind the rear driver
and should be at least partly over driver.
check Otto Perry photos at DPL

I think there is potential but as Charlie says "We won't know until we
see them."
