Need help picking an 0-4-0

The Polar Express Berkshire is a small locomotive, so just about any 0-4-0 will look big beside it.

I'll post a photo of my Right-of-Way B&O Little Joe/Docksider. It's pretty close to scale but it doesn't have a tender. The tether in back is intended for a sound car.

The little Berk will always look little compared to most locos - I can see it with S-gauge

running gear under the shell!

The Right-of-Way 0-4-0 tank loco is brass, exquisite, a good replica and very much

a true 1:48 Scale loco. 

The Lionel 0-4-0 w/slope-back tender can-motor descendant of the PW 0-4-0 is a great loco; it is definitely "scale-ish" and a great runner - even the MPC versions. One of mine has a date with an ERR command upgrade.

The 0-4-0's are fine; the Little Berkshire is the "problem". Most 0-4-0's are fairly

correctly sized because there is little reason to compress a model of an actually

small prototype.

The Lionel 0-4-0 is scale of about that, and it is appreciably taller than most traditional locos. but I love my two for its sound - surprisingly good for such a small tender.  And even bigger, more shocking contrast with the traditional BErk the Legacy Atlantic.  It is also scale and suprisingly big for a "small" steamer.
