Reply to "Source for older model 4-6-2 pacific steam engine"

The 3rd Rail High Iron K4 is a little large for the GN locomotive you are looking to replicate.  Also, GN's design of the Belpaire fire box is a bit different than the PRRs.  GN's appear to be a little boxier than the PRR versions.  It looks like the drivers are somewhere perhaps in the 65" range?  Just a guess.  As other posters have mentioned, an older AHM body with modifications and detailing mounted to a traditional sized chassis for the motor and main drivers might be the best route.  You can always change the pony trucks out.  Cool that this little Pacific had a booster engine on it.  Definitely worth capturing in one way or another. 

Another route that has been suggested might be to search for an older 2 rail brass donor as a starting point. 

However you figure it out, that is a nice small Pacific that would be great for smaller scale layouts.
