 Mel, the Rutland 0-6-0’s had steam cylinders with a flat top and the crank pin was located on the middle driver. Something your not going to see produced in the mainstream models made. That can cover loosely a variety of roads. They purchased what became 107 from the Clarendon and Pittsford who dieselized early. The Atlas model is pretty close to the one they acquired. One of the Goggle sites has a good picture of it.

 To be honest I really haven’t run it much. It will basically work one of my yards which are pretty straight. It had no trouble with a Ross curved turnout. I can remember but I believe it’s an 054,072.  I read many of the stories involving the large tether. I found it easy to place the engine and tender upside down in a cradle. Remove the front truck on the tender and slide it back.This gives you plenty of room to insert the plug. It’s small enough to easily handle both lifting on and off the layout. I’ll probably at some point install Kadee’s. 

 My go to method for removing lettering. Is a quick swipe with CVS nail polish remover. I still usually repaint with Scalecoat gloss black. After the decals are on. I give it a coat of clear gloss. Followed by satin or gloss and then weathering.
