Thanks Earl,

I was looking at the specs for the Mt. Emily Shay which used to be at Cass. It's an 80-3 with 13.5 X 15 cylinders, same as the #5 but with a girder frame and cast trucks. It weighs in at 10 tons more than the #5. Since the gear ratio and driver diameter are the same, the TE is the same but the #5 wouldn't have the same factor of adhesion.
