Unfortunately he passed away on 2005 but maybe 10 years prior to that if I recall correctly there was a fellow who paid to have that engine detailed to match IC 2411 which was dear to him for some reason. It started life as a Sunset(not 3rd rail), I remember that much, and the guy who owned it has passed away also and again, unfortunately, I do not remember his name off hand. Now I am going to be thinking about this and trying to remember more about it...
That would have been my next GUESS after Overland, purely by process of elimination. Your Dad did a great job. It is a handsome engine!

Well, my father did not detail it. I am sure he knew who did but all I remember about it is that the guy who owned it wanted to see it run and it would not or could not so my father repaired it. The back side of one of the drivers might show a quartering repair, but it has been so long ago now that I am not certain what all was repaired. But it eventually ran nice because I remember running it and taking the photo of it. How he knew or came in contact with the fellow that owned it I have no idea.
