Out of interest, how accurate a model is the old Atlas/Roco WDT Plymouth?
I'd always understood it was pretty good dimensionally, not "enlarged" to fill out the loading gauge like a lot of HO & N Plymouths were. But lately I've seen it described as based on a narrow-gauge prototype, or just dismissed altogether as a "toy". The blind center wheels aren't great, obviously, but then are quite well hidden by the outside frames, which as far as I can make out from websites like rrpicturearchives, aren't totally unprototypical, but weren't as common as inside frames & exposed wheels.
Comments welcome!!

The old Atlas O Plymouth is fairly representative of a generic Plymouth locomotive. These switchers were available in various tonnage, gauges and sizes to suit the customer needs.

There is certainly nothing wrong with it's scale proportions.
