IIRC - and my memories are somewhat vague -
WM #6 was spotted immediately next to F&W #1 - a 10-ton Porter 0-4-0T* - at Railfair '99 in Sacramento, CA. A rather interesting contrast, to say the least

* The Sespe began life as a 2-4-2T, built for an Oregon short line between Medford and Jacksonville, Oregon, in 1891. She lost two tons of gross weight - but gained a significant amount of tractive effort - when both her pilot truck and trailing truck were removed by the lumber company which was her second (or third) owner.
