Here is a Pocha AHM Genoa 4-4-0 that has been repaired. I had a broken pilot and my only spares were from a Reno 4-4-0. The old style pilot has been replaced with the newer Reno type.

Lexie's and Top's are the model I'm actually looking for---they have the turned brass fittings like the one my dad had all those years ago. The flag holders on the pilot are even drilled to take a staff.

Had this old steamer that did not have his tender
but it finally came up in a box i almost gave away
it is in fact a virginia and truckee too
it is supposed to be playart made in macao under the tender
i really like the color but it runs more like a race car
than a steam engine it wants to fly......
