It's what I want to model, looks like it will be a model in my world, thank you for all the help from those that still play with trains.

 Note that in even one well known case, the tank was removed from some 0-4-0's and a tender added - I'm talking about the well known B&O "Dockside" 0-4-0T. Rivarossi actually sold both versions - the tank engine and the later converted tender version. This one ranks up there with the Big Boy in terms of more model versions made than ever actually existed - IIRC there were only 4 of the real thing, 2 got converted to conventional tenders.

Dave is right: Nothing. 

Nothing with the information provided. This is the same question that was asked in the "value of Mantua goat" thread. If the OP can give us a hint where he got this cryptic info, or what the connection is between Utah and Virginia, maybe we can unravel this. With no further info, it remains a mystery. 

For the record, Strasburg Rail Road 31 is not a Camelback. It is CN 0-6-0 7312, obtained more than 50 years ago and renumbered Strasburg 31 by removing the first and last digits. 

Strasburg Rail Road number 4 is ex RDG class A-4b Camelback 0-4-0 1187, built originally for the Philadelphia & Reading in 1903.

For anybody not familiar with the goats in question,  look for reading  rr. No  31 at Strasburg  rr. To see a camelback goat.     Now . The only 0-4-0 types outside of the northeast were end cabs.  Usually tank type for the added weight.

can anyone help me with what the "goat" pulled aaround the rails in the VIRGINIA AND OR UTAH area around the late '30s to early '40s ? Any help would be appreciated thank you

 

Easy.  Nothing. 

 

By the 1930's, 1940's the Camelback 0-4-0's (a Reading Co. prototype) would have only been used in eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and northern Delaware on the RDG, CNJ, LV, LHR, LNE.  They would have been used in smaller yards and as industrial switchers.  They were generally replaced by 4 axle end cab switchers.

 

While its possible that a railroad in Virginia or Utah used a camelback 0-4-0 at some point in time, by the 30's or 40's they would have most likely been long gone (the UP did own a couple 4-4-0 camelbacks briefly, but no switchers that I know of).
