Little Overhang on my new Railking USRA Mallet 2-8-8-2

On eBay $299 opening bid + $20 shipping. There were no other bids. Has been run but the only way you can tell is slight marks on the wheels and rollers. On my 19" radius or 38" dia at centerrail curves there is no more overhang than a Hudson, Berkshire, Mikado Northern. Whats the difference between a Mohawk and a Mountain? The distance from the front driver to the front of the boiler and from the rear driver to the end of the cab is short. Thats why on this long boiler engine the overhang isent much. I love it. Has Protosound. I have the Sound Actavation Button on my conventual control and whistle, bell work .

Dennis, I have the MTH RailKing Northern Pacific Mallet. Terrific steamer, bought it new around 10 years or so ago. I did replace the battery with a BCR about 5 years ago to prevent the dead battery scrambled chip scenario. I do want to upgrade it to command control some day.
