MTH RailKing Ten Wheeler Virginia & Truckee - "Truckee #19" - Identify Item Number?

I got this Loco earlier this year, I've never been able to identify the specific Item number, it came with no box. I've searched the internet and get some other V&TRR Locos that have different numbers and names, but not this one. Fun little steamer. Anyone have an idea?

This is a close guess, but not quite it. https://mthtrains.com/30-1278-1

Maybe this one?

No, there are several that are close, for example, the one you linked to is the Virginia, there's another called Tahoe, Empire, one with a number called 25. I've even looked in digital copies of catalogs from 1999-2012, perhaps I don't have them all. Kind of an amusing mystery. I suppose it could have been customized, but if it was it was well done.

It’s possibly from an R-T-R set such as this one

I've considered the same, but so far none I've found have the correct number on the front.
