Description
Tacoma, named after one of the major stops on her line, is the flagship engine of the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad. She's been out of action for a long time, but has operated for many years back in the late 20th century. She is a very unique engine, as she was built by H. K. Porter, a company well known for making switching engines.------------------------------------------------------------------------
About time!
EDIT: Changed her height to be more accurate.

Being a Washington native and a casual authority on Washington State railroads, I really love what you've done with ol' #5, I'm actually old enough to remember seeing the real one in operation back in '97.
#5 operated until early 2001 when she was taken in for a federally-mandated boiler check as well as general repairs, and hasn't been heard from since (Although her Ashton 6-chime whistle can be heard on Hammond Lumber Co. 2-8-2T #17 which is operational at the MRSR).

Thank you. I've always had an interest with No. 5, even though I haven't had a chance to see her run for myself.

doesn't the wheels match the same height as Santa Maria Valley #100?

No. 100's wheels are just a bit larger.

oh ok then. how larger?

I honestly can't tell, because they're so close. In terms of real life size, they must be an inch or two bigger.

question: do you happen to have a copy of the drivers? I'm trying to make the B&O 0-4-0t and I think the drivers on this sprite match the tank engine's drivers.

I could make a copy for you, but there's the thing:
The B&O 0-4-0T's drivers are bigger than this. There are some other tank engines sprites that would work, though.

would I have to move anything or no?

No, you wouldn't. I would suggest using the drivers from my Clover Valley Lumber No. 4.
