Specifically the diameter of the drive wheels and the boiler front? I'm considering hacking one up for a kitbashing project and want to see how far off it would be from what I'm going for. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, that puts them close to what I'm looking for. Gotta finish my two kitbashers on the bench before I buy more, though. For the right price, I could take a hacksaw to it and have a decent starting point for a Reading I-9sa 2-8-0. I really want to build the beefier I-10sa but the only thing I've found with acceptable proportions is the MTH Western Maryland Premier 2-8-0 (which in reality I believe were the second biggest consolidations ever built, after the Reading I-10s), but those fetch upwards of $400 and that's a hard sell to take a hacksaw to.
