Well the T&P actually donated 2-10-4 638 to Dallas and was incensed at the vandalism it endured. TP cut it up on the spot in a fit of rage but later felt bad about it and purchased and donated the NYC loco which had a fake oil bunker added and TP lettering. That engine was later relettered by the Age of Steam museum which was built up around it at Fair Park in Dallas. That entire collection including various diesels, the Big Boy with its valve gear cut, the Frisco Decapod, Union Terminal’s 0-6-0 and numerous Texas Road named passenger cars, has been moved to the new Railrod museum in Frisco, north of Dallas. I think they even have a GG-1. The museum also inherited the fabulous G scale layout master modeler Rob Reid built. Unfortunately he was not contracted to move and modify the layout but most of it is still original including museum quality figure conversions and scenery.
