If it's just a matter of a missing air pump and/or throttle valve, it's a non-issue as far as parts go. Both were considered generic, consumable parts and probably were replaced many times during the locomotive's service life.

Which is precisely what I said to the guy who repeated the online rumors about said items.

Hi everyone, it's been a long time. I miss working with a great bunch of guys, volunteers and the shop crew. But life changes and we move on.
As far as I know the air pumps are stored in the room off the roundhouse in front of the engine and the throttle, which is a very special type is in the basement with the brake parts. All are marked and on a pallet.
