Herb,

Out of curiosity how many domes did the #5 have? Did the oil tank have a hole in it like the #6?

Les, It's coming along slowly. We are concentrating right now on our lbrary/archive and the building it's in. We got an IMLS grant for $45,000 to set up the library and archive. Work on #5 this summer was basically rust removal and painting. Things are going to be much slower this coming year. We lost our senior tour guide to COVID this past month and he did a lot of the grounds and maintenance work.

Herb -

Sorry to hear about the loss of your valued museum member. It's been a wicked year for all of us.

Going by the arch of the cab roofline, gentlemen, I believe that's #5...

I always thought it was Audrey, but I'm the guy that our brakemen used to call "Mr. Magoo".
As near as I can tell from the fuzzy blowup, that's #9, judging by the extended saddletank and the fact that the fuel tank looks vertical, rather than slanted. Mr. Scranton Yard had the best advice, I just might take it. Then we'll know for sure.

There's another good Coronet picture on that Florida Memories website, showing a train being loaded with wet rock in the phosphate pits. I believe the locomotive is #7, now one of the Gramlings projects.
