No, but how about a Virginia & Truckee 2-6-0? Pretty darned close, eh? <:-)

Virginia & Truckee No. 20 Tahoe
Baldwin 2-6-0. 1875 .Last operated 1948. Purchased 3/1968 from Clifford C. Bong & Co. Arcadia, CA. Partially restored to c.1870s appearance. Wood-burner.

From http://www.rrmuseumpa.org/about/roster/motive.htm , which I also submit as a well-done roster page........ and yes, we know why it's there: an example of a 19th-century Baldwin product, made in Pennsylvania....
