The boiler with its slanting wrapper sheet, dome placement, throttle rod, cab placement, etc all are more similar to 375. Other than total wheelbase and bore almost all the other major metrics align as well. She also weighs more, so is able to use the te a bit better. I own this locomotive and would not return to Texas unless I wanted it to do so for some reason. When complete I know where it would look great running, we shall see what the world looks like when that day comes.
