A beautiful mikado, I must say. The paint may be a little worn, but it's still nice.

Thanks! For being on display outside it is in a lot better shape than other locomotives I've seen.

Yes, it is the same type! I've yet to see any D51 Mikados dressed as Hiro, but I did see a Consolidation repainted as Hiro.
