I saw the Reno earlier this year. It has some holes in its smokebox I guess for something from a film. There are also holes cut in the backhead.
I suspect it would take a lot of work to restore her to running condition but she could bE cosmetically restored.
Also there is a "band" around one axle hub and crank pin. Couldn't tell if it was a repair of a crack or something. I haven't seen that before.
She needs to go back to NV where she belongs. She is a historical artifact not a movie prop!
