KEN : I like the way that Pennsy overton coach looks. The vestiabule doesn't look to hard to do. I'll start looking for some MDC 34' overtons to work on.

to romcat - a c-16 is a consolidation. Not sure what the seven means. The DRGW narrow gauge had many classes of consolidations. How they classified engines is too complicated to get into here.
The bigger mikados got a "K" designation.
