Is that converted from a Bachmann?  Or it kit ?

Bachmann model with topfeed removed and some extra details added.

On the 64xxs, topfeed started to be fitted from 1943, by which time the shirtbutton had been superseded by G W R for repaints. It is possible that a topfeed boiler was fitted to a loco still with shirtbutton tanks, but that combination would have been very rare, so I can understand why Bachmann has never offered it.

 

And much the same could be said of the 74xx’s too, with the addition of the cab and bunker would need to reflect those differences too. I’ve seen images of 74 no top feed and shirt button, and G W R presumed black with top feed, but can’t recall top feed + shirt button on a 74.
