Looks like you might be able to reskin Ben's Elberton Air Line ng mogul to the "Mono" #3, "Inyo" #2, and "Tybo" #1?
I haven't seen any models that look remotely close to the 0-4-2 Porter, and I haven't seen pics of the 0-6-0 Prescott locos, so I have no idea what they look like....

OK,
Go into CMP and click the item you want to reskin. Right click and clone it.
Next go to the clone right click and edit, edit in explorer. You should now see the folders, look for one called body then look for the largest .tga file. Open it up in an image editing program, such as The Gimp, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or Paint .Net. Make your changes to the .tga file and save. Then commit it and then look for it in surveyor.
