If you look closely you’ll see that CWR #14 is a 2-6-2 tank engine. Well, 2-6-2Ts’ in G scale land are as rare as hen’s teeth. However, you can buy a 2-4-2T. And, a 2-4-2T could easily be mistaken for a 2-6-2T says President Chuck Whitlock. Here is one of our 2-4-2Ts out of the box with name added:

Now, you can’t have a loco without an engineer, right?
