A new B&B has just opened: Red Roof & Rail B&B, 18570 Croghan Pike, Shirleysburg PA. I found a mention on the Fans of the EBT facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1231931 ... 1857775988

Hi guys; Now, getting back on track, what is the current status of the work being done on EBT 16, and also (14?) Thanks, David Notarius

Their latest posting showed pouring babbit in the journals and preparing the tender tank of 15 for replication as it has major rust out (as do, I think, all of the tenders from leaving coal in them for decades). 14 will be worked on after 15 is up and running, although new driver centers have been made for it (while making the new ones for 15). I saw them this summer in the Strasburg shops (although Strasburg would not identify them for customer privacy!). Lookin' good!

Hi again; what work is currently being done on 15, besides the tender work and new driver centers? What is the status of her boiler.? Thanks again - David Notarius

Only the Shadow knows--well actually the EBTF knows, but they keep things pretty close to their chest. I believe the boiler was thought to be in pretty good shape, but the cracked driver centers moved the 16 up to the forefront for rebuilding. Following the 15, the 14 AFAIK is in the next one in line. As time and funding allow! Being out in Califunny, it's kinda hard for me to know any "inside" info!
