I thought it was at the same Wisconsin rail museum the UK streamline
4-6-2 A4 locomotive is kept and that it was subsequently sold on,
either directly to NO or via Gomaco. So if 478 wasn't the car in
Wisconsin, which was the car?
Thanks to those whe provided info about 520. Truly a remarkable story
which I hadn't heard before. Was it complete with trucks/motors/
controls and if so, is anyone keeping an eye out for it when the
present owner no longer has a use for it?

No. 478 was one of the New Orleans cars. It became their 454.
