George S,

   The 259E is the wrong size Engine it's a 2600 series engine, find a Gun Metal Gray 249E, the mid size Tin fits better with the 800/2800 series rolling stock.  Even better expend more money, and pick up a Black 263E P2. Either of those 2 engines is the correct size for your 800/2800 series rolling stock, especially nice for your Terra Cotta Work Train Consist!

I think you are right Dave. The Lionel 1662 was sold in sets with the small 1600 series cars and would be the size of the 259. I have several 259's and they are way too small for the 2800 series cars. 

The AF 429 works with the 9" AF cars, but those are still smaller than the 2800 series cars. 

The 249e could work. I have been avoiding the 263e, because I see it as my cross country freight or passenger hauler. 

I think I am going to slow walk the engine for now. I have a 262 and a 260 to pull the work train when needed. Mostly, this train will sit on my siding "working".
