Virginian use of 2-8-4 505-509

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

related question - what of the many Berks available are closest to the VGN
in appearance? I would assume the ones recently done by Lifelike in their
Proto series would be pretty dead-on? Anything out there that gives a
reasonable look, or can be modified easily?
