Prototype: possibly the ultimate weathered Western?

Please pay attention Tony ;) , the photo in your first link has been shown on WT at least twice - I think that the first time was a post from the Guv'nor (RIP), see here .

At one point I suggested that the engine be given the nickname "Western Rainbow".... and then I saw this photo .
