The only Narrow gauge model I've is the #9 of the "Slim Princess", the 3 foot Narrow gauge line of the Espee in the Owens Valley.
I've buy a Z scale Marklin 0-6-0 and a pewter Gold Rush Kit. The idea was to setup a Diorama, but.. to many models and so few time to do.

Gold Rush Models
Unfortunately, there are several "not prototype" models under the SP lettering.
Several companies just re-label general USRA coal models as SP models. Pay attention: I've been fall in the same error! Southern pacific run OIL from the the beginning of the century and have "Whaleback" and "Vanderbilt" distintive tenders .

Bachmann A Baldwin design not so far from the SP prototype: Modification planned are using metal molded part from GHQ and tender replacement with a Vanderbuilt type.
SP "compatible" Tenders in "N" scale : I've found these two to replace the "wrong" tenders I have.
