USRA 4-8-2?

[NW Modeling List]

I took a Spectrum heavy mountain and  Spectrum J shell and made a K2.  I cut
off the Bullet nose and removed all the extra length on the front of the
boiler.  I also shortened the firebox on the forward end so it didn't over
lap the rear driver.  I am sure a Light mountain could be used as well.  I
used the spectum J shell since it comes apart into multiple pieces and is
easier to slice and dice accordingly.  The old J shell could be used as
well.
