A 4-10-0? That is probably the biggest on the Railroad. I do not recall any pictures. Would it be ok to ask Mr. Andy to provide a photo? I am curious to see this survivor. <br /> <br />I recall that the fire was pretty destructive from most accounts. I recommend being very careful and try to have the surviving members of John Allen's Operating Group attempt to identify the locomotive in question. Perhaps as a group they can agree or reject this engine as a "Genuine Article" <br /> <br />I have loved John Allen's work in books and MR. But I must doubt the truth of the seller's alledged story of retriving the model from under the bench work. Fire has a tendancy to gather along undersides of structures like tables, roofs, and ceilings before attacking upwards. The heat involved must have been hellish in that room.
