I'm taking a long hard look at the 4-12-2. It hits my criteria of being a cool looking loco and it's interesting in design/history. The three chuffs thing is pretty awesome and very unique. I think I might go for it in the C&O scheme. I like that they offer that fake scheme because it helps me shoe horn the locomotive into the story of my layout. Granted, I don't think that thing could navigate most of the bends around Appalachia.
