John,

I would choose #3.

All of the others seem to be a disproportionate amount of work or are unprototypical.

And would the prototype have been able to navigate that combination in real life anyway? Perhaps better to build a little 0-4-0 to shunt, and add some more operational interest   

I have only one thought on this, and that is to agree wholeheartedly with this post. Why make life difficult? Perhaps a B4, USA tank, or whatever?
