I recognize that face..thats a BR&P 2-8-8-2!
(Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg)
The BR&P had the only articulated engines to operate in Western NY.
they had 2-6-6-2's and 2-8-8-2's..
im a big BR&P fan, and thats the one-and-only model of a BR&P engine I have ever seen in any scale..
(BR&P became part of the B&O in 1932..never had any diesels, steam-only.)
I would love to learn more about this engine!
Those 2-8-8-2's once operated about 3 miles from my house..
thanks,
Scot
