Mike, No. I guess you mean #2248. I've seen her run by a number of times. A beauty. All these railroads around here running orange and yellow/gray powered box cars need to go watch the Tarantula Train and see what a real locomotive looks like. Except for when they run a diesel. A reasonable replica could be made of #2248 starting with a Bachmann 4-6-0 and changing out the domes, a new cab and a few other minor details. If you can find an old TLC 4-6-0 kit you could almost make an exact copy right out of the box except for the cab. Bruce
