These locomotives look great. No need to apologize for the appearence, although I will say that Americanizing them after they've been introduced to the public would be my first choice. Glad to see this operation moving forward. I do hope it yields fruit. |

What are these locomotives going to be used for? Passenger or freight? |

No need to appologize nor Americanize them. It remains true to form left as is. The real deal. I never got a chance to visit China but having these QJ's here in the US will be a great opportunity to nearly do so! The intent, as I heard, was a gamble to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing a "newer" ready to run steam engine for one reason or another, most likely for use in a tourist operation which would obviously be passenger service, though I heard it was a possibility that they could be broken in with freight runs. /Mitch |

Can they press the wheels in to 3 ft gauge? The loop needs a little help with a good running steam engine!!!!!! LOL Tom C. |

A QJ might be a wee bit big for that. But I'll bet you could make a nice 3 foot gauge outside framed D&RGW-type 2-8-2 out of an SY! |

Too bad those 2' gauge Baldwin 0-10-0s quit running in 91. I was lucky to see them in action in 1989. |
