    I have 12 steam engines lettered for MP. Two light USRA mikes are are relatively prototypical, 2 BLI heavy mikes are only vaguely like MP engines, 4 Bachmann 2-8-0s are numbered in imaginary number classes as are two decapods, one 4-8-2 is like before the pre-late thirties rebuild, and one ten wheeler is “something like” an MP engine. Does this bother me? OF COURSE NOT!!! They all run great! Crawl like ants! I’ve heard too many bad things about how prototypical MP brass engines run! I’m perfectly happy with a smooth running 75% prototypical engine switching my way freight.
