New BLI HO scale C&O T-1 2-10-4

[Rick F.]

I just got mine. Looks real nice, runs good, sounds good. For any other C&O fans out there a couple of questions if you've seen one of these or have one. Is the smokestack right? Seems to be a little big to me. The whistle sound seems more like a PRR passenger whistle than a T-1 whistle. Is this right? I wonder if they just used the sound from their previously modeled PRR J-1? Any comments?

Weren't PRR's J-1's developed from C&O's T-1's?

How are the pieces of the model's front end arranged? How difficult would it be to give the model the same arrangement of headlight/numberboard, etc as a J3a?
