 Higs: What you have is a Mikado, an M Class Mk 5, one of a block of 57. According to the numbering it was Built by Brooks and operated by the TNO (Texas and New Orleans), at the the time an SP subsidiary, and not by SP itself. For prototype reference I suggest: Wright, Richard K., Southern Pacific Company: Diagrams of Locomotives and Tenders. Dunscomb, Guy L., A Century of Southern Pacific Steam Locomotives. 1862-1963. Rather than #794 your might consider #743, the same class and Mark but operated by the SP itself and, a relative rarity, built in the SP company shops. A picture, a good high resolution showing tender detail complete with "dog house", is also available on the same website you got the picture of #794. Hope you find this helpful. Good Luck Randy
