This 4-6-0 steam locomotive's real-world counterpart was built in 1889 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway and was numbered 635. After working the Sedalia to Warsaw, Missouri route for many years, it was donated in November 1966 by Missouri Pacific to the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri,  where it still resides today.

My LEGO model of the real engine is as faithful to the real deal as I could feasibly get while still retaining my style of building. As a side note: the boiler of the engine is inspired by the loco in set 71044 - Disney Train and station.

The rear view of the locomotive. Sadly, I couldn't get the name of the railroad into it's proper spot above the road number on the tender.

The inside of the engine's cab is pretty sparsely detailed.

The real world loco as of March 2018. (Sorry I couldn't get a better picture, as the streetcars are parked in the way most of the time!)

Thoughts?
