	Locomotive No 11 (Reno); circa 1870s. 'Reno' was built in 1872 by Baldwin locomotive works. She is the oldest V&T locomotive still existing today. Reno was the favorite locomotive of the V&T, and was nicknamed 'Brass Betsy'. She was kept polished her entire life, and was the primary locomotive to pull the express train between Reno and Virginia City. Originally a wood burner, she was converted to coal in 1876, and to burn oil in 1907. She was the first V&T locomotive converted to burn oil. In 1945, she was sold to the movie studios, where she performed in over 20 movies, TV shows, and commercials. She is currently residing at Old Tuscon, where she has been cosmetically restored following a devastating fire in 1995. Drivers: 56 3/4 in Cylinders: 16 x 24 in Empty weight: 65,000 lbs Weight over drivers: 45,000 lbs Tractive effort: 11,920 lbs Boiler Pressure: 130 psi Created by Ben Neal (bdaneal); links take you to his site, Subpar Productions. Also requires V&T Common files and Cabin for Reno, Genoa Version: TRS 2004 - TC2
	Locomotive No 12 (Genoa); circa 1870s Genoa was built in 1873 by Baldwin. Very similar to 'Reno', she would pull the express when 'Reno' was out of service due to an accident or maintenance. Otherwise, she pulled other passenger or mixed trains, and occasionally freight. Never converted to coal or oil, 'Genoa' has remained a wood burner her entire life. She was retired in 1908, and sold in 1938. She now resides at the California State Railroad Museum, restored to her 1902 appearance. Drivers: 56 3/4 in Cylinders: 16 x 24 in Empty weight: 65,000 lbs Weight over drivers: 45,000 lbs Tractive effort: 11,920 lbs Boiler Pressure: 130 psi Created by Ben Neal (bdaneal); links take you to his site, Subpar Productions.

	Locomotive No 13 (Empire) 'Empire' was one of eight nearly identical 2-6-0's built by Baldwin Locomotive Works from 1869 through 1873 for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. Built in 1873, she spent a long life as a freight engine on the V&T. In 1910, she was renumbered #15 due to the bad luck associated with her previous number. In 1924, she was sold to the Pacific Portland Cement Company, Gerlach, Nevada as #501. In 1938, Empire was presented to the Pacific Coast Chapter of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society for preservation. She is now on display at the California State Railroad Museum, restored to her 'as built' appearance. Drivers: 48 in Cylinders: 16 x 24 in Empty weight: 56,000 lbs Weight over drivers: 45,000 lbs Tractive effort: 12,060 lbs Boiler Pressure: 130 psi Three levels of detail; 14845 / 4050 / 911 polygons This model is based on Ben Neal's (bdaneal) Inyo model; modified with permission.

	Locomotive No 14 (Esmeralda) 'Esmeralda' was one of eight nearly identical 2-6-0's built by Baldwin Locomotive Works from 1869 through 1873 for the Virginia & Truckee Railroad. Built in 1873, she ended service on the V&T just before the turn of the century (1897). In 1901, she was sold to Colonel Edgar K. Smoot, a railroad contractor in Manzanillo, Mexico for $2,000 From there, she went to the Mexican Government Railway, where she spent approximately the next 50 years. She is presumed to have been scrapped in Mexico at the end of her service there. Drivers: 48 in Cylinders: 16 x 24 in Empty weight: 56,000 lbs Weight over drivers: 45,000 lbs Tractive effort: 12,060 lbs Boiler Pressure: 130 psi Three levels of detail; 14845 / 4050 / 911 polygons This model is based on Ben Neal's (bdaneal) Inyo model; modified with permission.

	Locomotive No 21 (J.W. Bowker). As built; 1875 Built in February 1875 by Baldwin, No. 21 was the second 2-4-0 on the V&T, after the largely identical No 9 (I.E. James). She was purchased to assist the Virginia City switch engine (No. 4, Virginia). With a built-in fire pump, she was frequently called to assist putting out fires near the tracks. In 1876, she was renamed "Mexico". She was sold to Sierra Nevada Wood and Lumber Company in 1896. In July of 1937, she was presented to the Railway and Locomotive Historic Society Inc. for preservation. She took part in the 1939 New York World's Fair, and also starred in the Paramount Pictures movie "Union Pacific". She now resides at the California State Railroad Museum, restored to her 1880s-1890s appearance. A matching tender is also available. Drivers: 48 1/4 in Cylinders: 14 x 22 in Empty weight: 65,000 lbs Weight over drivers: 48,000 lbs Tractive effort: 9,900 lbs Boiler Pressure: 130 psi Created by Terry Bryson (tbryson2).

	Locomotive No 22 (Inyo). Circa 1880's - 1901 paint scheme Other than the famous 'Reno' steam locomotive, the second most popular iron horse on the V&T was the 'Inyo'. Built by Baldwin in 1875, she arrived in Reno on March 22, along with the J. W. Bowker. The wood burner cost $9,065 and when filled to capacity with approximately 2,000 gallons of water and three cords of wood, weighed over 58 tons. By 1879, the brass bedecked engine was employed in the V&T's regularly scheduled mixed passenger and freight service. At other times it substituted for the 'Reno' and 'Genoa' when they were in the shop. Beginning in the 1890's, No. 22 handled the road's crack Virginia City express train and saw extensive use during the Tonopah mining boom soon after 1900. In 1910, the 'Inyo' was next to the last of the V&T iron horses to be converted to burn oil. From 1926 on, the engine was considered to be retired, although she did replace the 'Reno' occasionally. Sold to the movie studios in 1935, she went on to star in more than 20 movies. She now resides at the Nevada State Railroad Museum, restored to a circa 1895 appearance.
