    Heavy Mountain--

    Kanawha, I can't say the drivers look to small or the boiler shortened, because I have do not have a another brand of Heavy Mt. to compare it to. But if you not a rivet counter you would never know the difference, if there is one. As far as pulling power, I think I have about 20 cars on it right...
