Thanks Bob,
I rushed into thinking a conversion could be made from the AN atlantic. driver spacing differences would complicate such things way beyond my ability. Both our engines share the same tenders and many of the major castings. If I remember correctly some of the white metal details had Varney cast on them. One honkin chunk of cast brass makes up the boiler including the smoke box front. My Atlantic served time on the Toronto Model Railway club layout before coming to me. It ran OK on their layout at a later date and whether in a tunnel or not, the noise let you know it's exact location.
