@Rusty Traque posted:Well, not really. The Russian decapod is not a large locomotive. It looks big, mainly because it's narrow boiler is fairly high off the frame.
The Russian's driver diameter is 52". Strasburg's ex-Great Western decapod's is 56". A USRA 2-10-2 driver diameter is 63". Depending on the Class, Santa Fe's 2-10-2's had either 57" drivers or 63" drivers. The Pennsy's N1s and N2s 2-10-2'a had 62" and 63" drivers respectively.

I would take a pair of Legacy Erie 2-10-0 Russian Decapods. Really neat little engines that have never been done in S to my knowledge.
