Someone swapped the streamlined shell with the war version. They would have also changed the pilot trucks from spoked to solid. You can see on the steam chest that it says "J1" and not "J".

Christopher,

Thanks for weighing in here, your assessment makes the most sense. I knew there was something wrong with this model. The Brass Guide OMI 613 version also shows two holes in the drivers close to the driver crank pin whereas the War Baby does not which further corroborates your theory. For clarification, was the J1 on the steam chest only used on the War Babies 605-610? Also, were solid pilot truck wheels used only on the post-war deliveries 611-613? The model in question is on eBay and set to finish tomorrow night, currently bid at $1925. Glad I’m NOT involved. Caveat Emptor.
