For comparison purposes I'm posting 2 pictures of the Stevenson Preservation Line SP MK5 Mikado and the Williams Mikado. It doesn't seem like it would take much to effort to "Espee" the Williams Mikado with some detail parts and a Vanderbilt tender.
The steam and sand domes are a very different shape. Would you have to take the Williams down to bare brass and unsolder them? I've never assembled a brass model, so I don't have a good feel for how difficult this would be.
Add to that the stack and the cab. The sport cab (slanted front) is one of the identifying features of many SP engines.

Pete, is it just me, or does the SP have a straight boiler, where the Williams model has a tapered boiler.....I know the Williams is tapered, as I have a few of those........Pat
