@colorado hirailer posted:This crosses line between models and prototypes. There are several recent postings about Williams and Weaver Pacifics, and l have wondered how many photos have caught class one railroads using Pacifics in freight duty?
Which railroads are you referring to, and which railroad/railroads are you attempting to model?
I have seen a few, vaguely remembered, and am aware short lines used them, in any service, but l prefer Mikados and Cons. for freight.
As did the vast majority of class 1 railroads, back in the days of regular steam service.
Seems not so many of those have been offered.
Both Lionel and MTH have offered many, MANY models of 2-8-2s and 2-8-0s (assuming you are a 3-railer). In 2-Rail Scale, there have been many, MANY versions of all sorts of 2-8-2s and 2-8-0s, over the last 50 years.
