Lyle and Tom, Broadway Limiteds model of the heavy USRA mikado matches Qs O-4 class, 5500 - 5514, but is somewhat heavier than the O-1As. As mentioned, the only models of the Qs O-1As that I am aware
The Oriental O1a is a) unpainted and b) not sound and DCC and c) a reasonably accurate brass model. The plastic ones are a) painted and b) usually will have sound and DCC and c) only have in common w

November 15, 2018 Charlie - In a quick check of my Class O-4 images, it looks like the 5506 got the same "flat" smoke box front treatment. In this fireman's side color view, you can see that the smok
