Spark arresting stacks are not unheard of with coal fired locomotives, especially in logging. Several are preserved on the Cass Scenic Railroad: http://www.cassrailroad.com/
That being said, I think the engine you have pictured there is probably a fantasy design, since they're calling it a switch engine, then putting a mainline-style cow catcher on instead of an end step. They appear to be trying to capture an "old fashioned" appearance.

That's a handsome little engine. It should be a real honey when it is done.

That's interesting Ken... you put Rivarossi 0-4-0 drivers on a Teakettle? I didn't think the axle diameters were the same.
