Looks right to me too, Derrell. Definitely looks like #70. John could do a lot worse than using this as a starting point for information. Overland's draftsman was a guy who lived in Valparaiso named Arendt Gerritsen, and he was really talented at being able to pull detail out of photos and reproduce them in his drawings. He probably made drawings for this and the other Sn3 projects and I am impressed. He also did the drawings for all the earlier On3 C&S projects that Todd and I participated in.  

This looks better to me, proportionally, than the On3 PSC model. Including, I believe, the cab width, which was probably at least 6" too narrow on the On3 PSC. I always thought they made the cab undersized to compensate for an undersized tender.

The coal tender looks like a reprise of the #71's tender, but sure gives the right feel.

Thanks for the pics. When Darel told me some time ago that OMI had produced these engines in Sn3 I was really surprised. And very happy for everyone modeling in that scale.

Did they produce the Baggage and Mail car #13 in Sn3? I know it was done in HOn3, but not in On3.
