Dwight,
MMI should use your live steamer as the prototype. Four-4-0s were certainly widely used on both standard and narrow railroads and certainly earned the name, American Standard. These are too early for my modeling period but were a very successful design when cars were all wood and trains were lighter. Generic models are okay for many but I prefer one based on a prototype. If it ran on the railroad I model, that's even better.
