MTH BR 44 2-10-0 versions???

I agree, they all seem to look alike, except for the styling & painting schemes.

You had to bring that blasted Decapod up, didn't you? I had put that desire behind

me two months ago, but now, there it is again.

I love Decapods, and that plain gray one just talks to me (though the SCNF does too),

so thanks a lot.

Not sure about detail differences, besides smoke deflectors. I'm sure that some info is on

the Internet. Wikipedia has a 2-10-0 page; mentions the BR44 and its relatives. 

This may or may not help:

European Railroad Era

Thanks Rusty, that's an extremely useful page and I saved it for future reference. They missed some important Era I names like K.K.St.B. in Austria (which  appears on some ETS rolling stock) but it's a really good reference.
