bash mikado jr into a Pacific

Real railroads did it (notably the B&O - P1c and P1d) so it's possible.

The trick is finding a boiler and cab and a drive train that can be combined without too much trouble.

When I got back into O gauge, I was concerned there were nothing but passenger

engines, such as Pacifics and Hudsons, and I wanted Mikados and Consolidations,

so I bashed the Marx Hudson into a Mikado.  Can't imagine not being able to find

a Pacific or a Hudson, unless you are looking for one for one specific railroad, and

no mfr. has one or close.  (finally, there are now plenty of freight engines, but

still, as in the case of the C&O's Pacific vs. Mikado, only the Pacific has been done,

so I passed.  Depending on the similarity of their boilers, that would be another

one where I would want to go the other way...probably much harder for Lionel or

MTH than Marx)
