Joseph
 
Thank you for the suggestion. I would probably still go with the Sunset as what you suggest "may require more work" usually means my projects don't get finished because I have run into a snag. And I have a LOT of SNAGS around!

Jim,
Precision Scale Company may have drivers for the Sunset K2. All brass construction. May require more work but could be a little cheaper.

Very Respectfully,
Joseph Congemi

Hope you write up an article for the magazine detailing all that you are doing with this engine.
Sunset still has the drivers but at $150 a pop I will probably think about it for awhile.
Right now I don't even have track to run this thing!

Jim: I have installed the larger drivers on my K2 and he engine looks much better. Also I would like to install spoked pilot wheels but have not yet. The bell was not installed under the steps as on the model but on the pilot beam with a plain steel strap bracket.  However, if you keep the bell on the pilot beam you should not have spoked pilot wheels and will have to add the cooling grills to each side of the front cowling.  I plan to return the bell to the top of the boiler after I finish replacing the top of the skyline cowling which on my engine is miss-shaped .

I'll have to take another look at it. Wonder if anyone has installed the replacement drivers that Sunset offered some time back?
Also it would be neat to install spoked lead truck wheels.

I decided to        leave the bell under the pilot but may substitute a smaller bell        or reposition it. Looking at the top it would be a pain to try        and put it there,
    
    Jim,
        It wouldn't be hard to put the bell up on top as the area up    there is wide open. You just need the correct part from PSC.
