As a consolation prize i would settle for one of these.  It does exist!

Privately owned, rumored to have been scrapped, and hidden in a Pittsburgh warehouse for over 40 years, this big B&LE 2-10-4 #643 came to light when the building housing it collapsed.  Now exposed to the weather its fate is uncertain.  A nice model would raise awareness and appreciation for a pretty awesome freight hog!

Is this engine still in Pittsburgh?  If so, where. I grew up near the city, and I have no knowledge of this ever existing. 

Thanks

I saw the later post stating it was in McKees Rocks. Next time I’m in town, I’ll need to at least look it up.
