Klondike Kate looks to be about the same size as the Brooks 2-6-0 steamers of the C&S. Number 21 or 22 would seem to me to be a close match for KK#4 . Maybe at some point in the future a lettering scheme and a little costume makeup could be applied to see what this would look like. Glad to have a steamer back in Como and going into the roundhouse again.
I agree. I was wondering too if they would re-letter #4 for a C&S loco. From what I've read it was a ton of work to get it ready and operational for this weekend. I can only imagine what it would take to repaint etc. a loco too. Hopefully, that will be on the to-do list for the future!
