George,
I don't remember what locos you have but for your modeling area and era you definitely need a I1.
Probably with a short tender and dirty.
I really hope I get to see some of this layout in my lifetime.

I know. It just wasn't to be this one. Too many question marks around it, including the price. I think I'll get there eventually.
