I was going to mention Modeltec, but Steve beat me to it.

I have the entire T12 build in Modeltec. I will have to try to find some time to pore over the articles. Might have an answer in there, but I'm inclined to say no cant.

On a related note...

It was my understanding that piston centerlines should be aligned with the centerline of the driving axles. If the T12 was straightened out, and as such, higher than the CL of the driving axles, this could be problematic, correct? I could see some "waddling" of the locomotive occurring under power.
