EnglishBob,

The numbers 2-6-4 or 4-6-2 refer to the arrangement of the wheels. A train like The Flying Scotsman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A1/A3) is indeed a 4-6-2, refering to 4 small wheels in front, then 6 large wheels, then 2 small wheels at the back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:2-6-4_locomotives). This is a different type, and has 2 small wheels in front and 4 small at the back.

The tracks where modelled off the blueprints, so the sizes should be correct. We hope. :-)

Unless we calculated wrong, or unless we just totally and utterly messed it up, lol.
