I'd also consult with the folks at California State Railroad Museum http://www.csrmf.org/
and lastly the Nevada State Railroad Museum, which has much of the old Virginia and Truckee equipment (much of which did movie service from the 50s to the 70s): http://dmla.clan.lib.nv.us/docs/museums/rr/ccrr.htm

Take a look at the credits for the Thomas the Tank Engine movie: Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Gullane Pictures/Destination Films. It's on DVD and VHS. There's a steam locomotive used in that. The credits might tell you where it was from and that was made just a few years ago. What's the film/project? I am curious...
has running live steam 1909 Alco #93 - Consolidation 2-8-0 and turn of the century cars to go along with that.
I took a turn at the 93's throttle last month and participated in their yearly photo shoot - got some fantastic pictures !! Super-friendly folks there. Check 'em out !
