Hi Bob! Nice picture of your chassis! Just looking, what would be the chance of adding another driver? With the frame extended out so far behind the last driver, it looks like it could take another driver with room to spare, and give you a really nice Mogul or ten wheeler? Southern logging lines, like the Argent Lumber Co. and the Surrey Sussex & Southampton in Virginia had nice Baldwin and Porter Moguls and Ten Wheelers with smallish drivers for use in the woods not only hauling log trains, but the employee's passenger extras and U.S. mail trains. Your chassis would be just the ticket for such a locomotive, and really be something out of the ordinary! Keith Taylor
