John, Henry, List,
I changed the subject to better
reflect what we're talking about and I trimmed the post
to keep digest readers copacetic.? John, I really like your
suggestions below.??
Now that I've had my
post-breakfast caffeine, I remembered that the New York
Central RR Historical Society has a nice New York Central
Modeler publication which covered kitbashing NYC steam
engines, including the H5 and H7 Mikados.? NYC's H5
Mikados were sold to or built for many NYC subsidiaries,
including the Nickel Plate (an NYC subsidiary until
1916).
Link below is
to the index page for the NYC Modeler.??

The NYC
Modeler's first quarter 2012 edition has an article by
Tom Bailey that introduces his models and has a bit about
kitbashing an NYC H7 from a Mantua Mikado.??
The NYC Modeler 3rd quarter 2012
continues the H7 kitbash.??
The NYC Modeler 2nd quarter 2013
finishes the H7 saga and has shorter sections about
kitbashing an H5 from a John English 2-8-2.

Doug,That’s a pretty
straight boiler. Some NYC modelers have used the Mantua
Mikado’s for NYC’s near straight boilered
Mikes.From there it
becomes a matter of how detailed you want it. For me the
cylinders look heftier than Mantua’s and the H5s have
baker valve gear. The sand box would have to changed or much
modified. I’m not sure about the steam dome as I don’t a
Mantua handy right now.From there it’s a
matter of how much of the piping and appliances you want to
put on it.Oh yes, that
