If you have a good photo of the prototype just pick 8up a used Consolidation 2-8-0 for the donor and remove the old paint and add your decals. If further detailing is required you can modify it to suit your needs with a detail kit for a Consolidation. That´s what I do when I want a specific engine and no one makes that specific engine. I get the closest thing I can find and repaint and add specific details and/or decals.

Can anyone tell me what it is worth? It is the one that has a pantagraph antenna that was used on the Virginian RR until 1959 from Elmore WV to Roanoke VA. One was sold ebay a couple years ago for a tidy sum

according to this web site they can make a custom one for you , 3D printed , and then you would have to fit it to a donor engine chasie . I’ve done a couple of brass and wood laser cut kits using Kato , Anthem and Bachman drives ,
I haven’t done anything with this site but look , but can see myself ordering an engine shell from them to have a custom engine in the future ,
