What did they do? Is that a Shay boiler? The drive train isn't old Ephiram's design for sure! Actually, the above loco looks like a "Mason Bogie" with another engine under the bunker where a 3 axle truck would "normally" be. Whatever it is called, it looks like a dandy way to use a couple of the Bachmann 2-6-0's, provided smaller drivers could be used.
Just like it has been said-"There's a prototype for everything".

Yes! it is a SHAY boiler, LIMA SN #3185, #'s 3183 & 3184 were converted to 4-6-2s. Built for Estrada de Ferro Osete de Minas in 1922. Osete #302, believed converted in 1930 and
retired in 1930, apparently not a great success!. Only known
photo.
The two Pacific's faired a bit better, #339 converted in 1941, destroyed by boiler explosion 1955, #340 converted
1942, retired 1965, on display.

1930, you say?
Hmm... the year the RC&RS is set in.
I say maybe one of those 2-6-6-2's made it's way to South Mississippi.I sure have enough Moguls to donate a couple to the bash.

Ken, do you have the link to the original image? Looks like the one you posted is scaled.

White Pass & Yukon Pictures
scroll down to Narrow Gauge Export pictures
scroll down to 2-6-0+0-6-2
Bruce has collected a fair number of photos covering numerous wheel arrangements, so there are lots to look at.

Umm, well ... 
(truth can be stranger than fiction - and there's some pretty strange fiction out there!)

Why should I stay paranoid? Why are you telling me that?
How do I know I can trust your advice? Can you prove you aren't a disinformation agent?

Looks fine to me. Reminds me of some ancient HO Mantua parts that are lurking in a box somewhere. I was gonna install one on my 0-4-2t...but when I look for something in particular, I end up finding something else and get "side tracked".
