Wonderful work by Mr Stowell in praise of Emett

2 other 2' gauge pacific possibilities spring to mind.
1) SAR NG10. Baldwin-built american style 4-6-2 tender engine. South African railways had several, and one was supplied to a cement co and is now at the Brecon Mountain Railway.
2) SAR NG42/3. Two personal favourites. These 4-6-2Ts were supplied by Bagnall for commuter operations on the Walmer branch (a 6 mile branch off the vast Avontuur line), and were based on the 4-6-0 B class, which was in turn based on some Baldwin 2-6-0s for the hopefield branch, so they were a British-built engine with colonial accessories (HUGE headlight, cowcatchers) based on american design practice (bar frames, cylinders and smokebox saddle cast in one huge lump)
Couldn't find a picture anywhere on the web- I've only ever seen two in print, but a thumbnail sketch with leading dimensions appears in Moir's "24 inches apart"

Apologies for thread necromancy, but thanks to an email on the 16mm Association I've located a picture online of my other 4-6-2 suggestion, the CGR/SAR Walmer branch Bagnalls.

Sorry to bump the thread again, but another very interesting 2' gauge pacific has recently surfaced in Belgium...

The fact that she is inside-framed would make it a particuarly suitable for you chassis, methinks...
