That sounds perfect. I was scouting online and ran into a couple of those. I thank you for the advice.
Of course while I was scouting I found a bunch of very cool stuff. Out of curiosity - how many drive wheels are too many for O27 curves?
I dug through the box and found my old 1989 Lionel catalog. Once again I found myself drooling over the Pennsylvania Railroad S-2 #6200 I lusted over as a kid. Far too large and expensive for what I'm looking for now. Perhaps someday if I keep falling down this very enjoyable rabbit hole...
