In North America, 2-6-4T types were very uncommon, mostly used for commuter passenger service. Not sure if any were preserved; I know of only a 4-6-4T on display in Montreal. This made them very exotic to this colonial.

They're also an ideal size for models-- big enough for all the motion and complex design features, small enough to traverse 50cm radius curves. :)
