One feature I like a lot is that both engines swivel, and as the point between the engines is well forward of the overall locomotive’s center line, there is minimal curve overhang at the front. A price has to be paid for sure, and it’s a significant cab overhang at the rear, but I much prefer that. The dealer also sold me a set of six smallish K-Line C & O black hoppers that look great behind this loco. A four wheel MTH caboose completes the illusion.

Essentially anything that is MTH RK (not RK Scale) or Lionel Traditional (and the K-line/WBB equivalents) will be in size sync with the 1:58 K-Line 2-6-6-6 (or K-Line - now WBB - 1:58 4-6-2). Think Postwar (not the really small stuff) dimensions. 

I have one of these. TMCC. Cruise. Runs very well. Except for the "high-pockets" firebox sides for rear swing on tight curves), it's a pretty fair model, and correctly proportioned. Great free-lancing fodder, also (I haven't done this).

I may modify those firebox sides one day (if ever...) as I have 072 curves so clearances aren't critical on this loco.
