Does anyone know if the Lionel scale pacifics will interchange with each other as far as frame (complete with all boards and components) and boiler shell?

Specifically will a Southern 1393 610 133 4001 mount on a Chicago and Alton 657 610 133 8001.  Would think possibly since the numbers seem to be in a similar family.

I'm not sure about the C&A.  I'm guessing that you posted part numbers rather than product numbers.  I'm 90% sure that the 6-11334 Southern had smaller driving wheels than the 6-11335 Blue Comet that was released at the same time.  So at least some of the scale Pacifics have parts/frames that are not interchangeable.  I think the C&A had large driving wheels like the Blue Comet, so for my $.02 the Southern frame won't work.

Also:  I can't remember whether the frame castings were painted to match the boiler shells.  I certainly wouldn't want to pull and press all of the driving wheels, but if the frame is red, it might be hard to repaint it otherwise.
