This is an extremely rare and valuable Bullock scratchbuilt brass.......something.
If the scale was correct, imagine it pulling a rake of Fischer cars......

I personally miss Dave's posts on egregious pricing of eBay offerings. But it is good to see Dave join in, even if the locomotive he chooses to highlight causes nausea.

It's a model of the C.P. Huntington, built in 1863 and preserved at the California State RR Museum.
Re: very rare!
I could see how someone would really want that too. Implies custom build right but the C.P. Huntington is a pretty iconic prototype. Looks familiar as a model too….hmm.

ummmm........not sure what you're seeing. Nothing the same.
CPH was a what, Forney? with tender on engine frame?
This one...separate tender, driver skirt extending upwards through running board, domes, stack, cab headlight and smokebox all different. Maybe boiler. Definitely lead truck wheels.

Looks like driver axle has been embedded deeper into frame, 'cause if you look behind it, you can see the #2 axle journal, with circular driver rub marks.
Not sure what the junior high school student who did this was trying to accomplish, but CPH isn't even close.....
