Very small N&W 0-6-0?

[NW Modeling List]

1885-1888 N&W bought (or built) 12 0-6-0's in classes R, P and S (series 
129-140). They had 50" drivers and the second driver was offset to the rear. 
They are pictured on page 137 of Prince's book. These are the only N&W 0-6-0's I 
know of.

Subject: Very small N&W 0-6-0?

Folks, I have a little puzzle..
I recently purchased an old Bachmann HO scale 0-6-0, thinking it was a Spectrum 
model.  When I got it, I realized that it's much smaller.  The drivers are about 
43" diameter, the overall wheelbase is only 10', and the middle driver is offset 
to the rear 6" of center.  I can find no prototype locomotive on either Southern 
or the Danville & Western, my two primary roads.  Since I also have a little bit 
of N&W on my layout, I was wondering..  did the N&W ever have anything that 
small?  At this point, I don't care about anything other than the wheelbase and 
diameter, as I will have to build the rest of the loco anyway.  Was there a 
suitable N&W prototype?
