Northwest Shortlines E2a

[NW Modeling List]

I'm not sure what year it most accurately represents, but it's definitely later as it has the large tender and centered headlight.  I noted the same thing you did regarding the headlight - overlarge and crude.

What year did the 578 get the centered headlight and large tender?

Matt:

Which version did you find?  The 1940 version representing 578 with large tender, or the 1910 version?  The reason I ask is that I don't think both versions came from the same maker in Japan.  I found the 1940's version to be a very reliable runner.  I had an issue with the crude castings for the headlight and classification lights, so I replaced them with Cal-scale parts.  These models were produced in 1972.
