Wallace Ribbeck

From Chaski.org:

That NYC Hudson of Wallace Ribbeck is really a masterpiece of a locomotive. I've seen it several times. It used to sit outside of the room at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel where the large model train layout was located. The locomotive disappeared from there and then moved to the Tennessee Valley Railroad back a number of years ago.
