An engine that size in 5" scale... There wouldn't be too many places you could run it because of the length of the driving wheel base. I'd estimate a minimum radii of 90' and most 15" gauge lines have 50' to 60' radii on their main lines.
Scottsdale and the ATT&NW in Missouri are the only two tracks (here in the States) that I know could handle it. There arn't any tracks in Californa that could.
I'd still like to see a model built though.
Cheers,
Curtis F.
