I'm working on a model of D&RGW #13 which never ran in CO, but was sold to the EBT as #3.
Funnily enough, it isn't a very long loco - only 20' 6" from back of cab wall to front outer edge of smokebox. It looks to use a 'standard' Baldwin boiler very like the one on the Accucraft 4-4-0.
Can anyone put a ruler next to their 4-4-0 and tell me the distance from rear of cab (wall) to front edge of smokebox? I'm looking for 12 1/8".
The other "issue" is that Accucraft says the wheels on the 4-4-0 are 2.1", which makes them 42". This loco used 40" wheels. Can anyone tell me if the 2-6-0 has 2" wheels?
