So, while changing era's I finally figured out what to do with my Ariso Mikado... Boston & Maine never had any of their own, they leased several from the Erie for about 6 months before sending them back... The R1's came later, 4-8-2's, much larger than any other power aside from the S series 2-10-2's and T series 2-8-4's. The R1's were the mainstay of passenger service, even into the diesel era, and were then bumped into fast freight. service.
I've semi-completely disassembled my Aristo mike. I fabricated a new headlight out of brass, and filled in several holes. I am in the process of moving the markers as well. Pictures may arrive later tonight or tomorrow.
If I could get hold of a cheap Big Boy or Challenger Tender I might try an R1-d, but I imagine theya re very expensive...
