Bachmann 4-8-4 wheel size

[Dreyfusshudson]

I heartld that recently released bachmann's 4-8-4 has 73-74inch wheels.
I purchased 4-8-4 on second hand.
It's on jewel case although it has old motor(2004 production of spookshow: http://www.spookshow.net/loco/bach484.html)
Going to use it as donor chassis for Greenbrier of Mohawk L4b.
Is it good option?

I have a few of these earlier and 2004 vintage. The 2004 + ones are the better ones to get. Avoid the white box ones as they get split axle gears (white).
The driver diameter across the treads measures out to 73 inches as measured by a digital caliper. Looking at the wiki the driver size is close to what you need.
