The Klondike Mines Railway

Ron,

The 2-6-0 in the photo looks an awful lot like a Bachmann 2-6-0 Spectrum Mogul, doesn't it?  With the wagon top boiler and the uncentered driver.  The others look like C-16 type locomotives.

You're jumping ahead of me just a little, but you are correct on both counts.  I purchased a Bachmann 2-6-0 to replicate KMR #1, and have a Bachman 2-8-0 coming for KMR #2.  As for KMR #3, it is much larger, somewhat similar relatively speaking to a K-27. For that one I am going to use my Accucraft K-27 that has languished in obscurity ever since I bought it and then found  I couldn't use it as intended back in 2001.  

I will make more exacting photo and drawing comparisons for each of these, pluse Detroit-Yukon Gold Company engine #4 (as well as numbers 1, 2 and 3) shortly.
