Description :

Up for auction is a classic HO scale steam locomotive and tender from Rivarossi, representing the 4-4-0 “Inyo” of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad — one of the iconic American “American Standard” steam engines of the late 19th century. 

This model captures the distinctive look of a traditional 4-4-0 locomotive, complete with tender, in a style that evokes the heyday of steam railroading on the historic V&T line. The Inyo was originally built in 1875 by Baldwin Locomotive Works and handled both passenger and freight service on the narrow but proud Nevada short line; it has since been preserved and occasionally operated by rail museums. 

Model Highlights:

• Faithful representation of a classic 4-4-0 “American” type steam locomotive and matching tender. 

• Decorated in Virginia & Truckee Railroad livery reflecting the Inyo’s unique heritage. 

• Detailed boiler, cab, wheels, and tender for visual realism on your layout.

• Ready to display or restore for operation on compatible HO scale track.

• A great piece for collectors of vintage Rivarossi steam locos or Western U.S. railroad enthusiasts.

This veteran model reflects the classic craftsmanship of Rivarossi’s American steam line and makes an attractive addition to historic train collections, dioramas, or museum displays. Photos show overall condition — please review them carefully before bidding.
