Well, I can confirm that the MRS-1 came from Portola--with pitted axle journals to boot. And yes, it was originally intended for the NN, and it was in Doug M's possession. I actually designed the paint scheme on it--BUT NOT THE COLORS used! the NN loco was supposed to go on the ends in the diamond-shaped area there.
However, that's about all I can confirm! The Harriamn SP coach there originally came from the McCloud (Huff-n-Puff)via, I believe via Fred Kepner. I know the vista flat came via Fred as I arranged it's donation to the "Great Western Railroad Museum" from TrailTrain via Solano Railcar.
That was a long time ago in a era far, far away.
