First new arrival in a long while, welcome porter

Are there any real trains like Porter with similar cabs and tanks that meet the plate or or might he be fictitious in that regard?

This is Porter, I believe:

Correct. I dig a bit further. According to Thomas Wiki, it is based on a H.K. Porter 0-6-0ST, built in Butler, Pennsylvania, north of Pittsburgh. These mainly worked in the dockyards on the east coast of the United States. The Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal Railroad, which served the dockyards in Brooklyn, New York, owned several examples of Porter's design.
