I really dunno. I seen it one there for 3 years! Maybe I'll call them and see what there is to know about it! I did see an early Tinplate Marx on there once.The shop is World Famous Gold & Pawn Shop of Las Vegas.

It's a Bachmann G scale Annie. Not valuable, but it looks great on camera, which is why they keep it there.

I wasn't aware it was short for "anniversary." I thought all Bachmann ten-wheelers were referred to as Annies. There have been at least 4 or 5 versions of the drive over the years.
If that scheme is custom, maybe it has their company name on it.

Hey Ken. I can't say for sure this is accurate, but Google brought me to this:

Now that I look at it, there are differences between the Pawn Stars loco and the B'mann 4-6-0, like the domes and the height of the tender body. Still, there's so many similarities that it makes me wonder if the builder didn't use a Bachmann chassis to build on. Too similar, in fact, to be a coincidence -- it even has the overly long backhead in the cab. I wish we had a better picture, but the drivers, front truck , and wheel spacing are identical. I've seen plenty of wooden locos, and none looked very realistic, much less like a known manufacturer's product. I'd like to see confirmation about its construction other than someone's claim on that thread.
That's the site I was thinking of, Ken. I skimmed through a few years back. I still have one of the first gen Big Hauler sets for Christmas use.
