As for some of the Edaville steam locomotives that were on static display...

The Mexican 30-inch gauge outside-frame 2-8-0 12 has been restored to operating condition and it's now at the Alder Gulch Shortline Railroad in Nevada City, MT.

The ex-Mason Lumber 2-truck standard gauge Climax 4 is now on display at the Railroad Museum of PA at Strasburg.

The ex-Argent Lumber 3-foot gauge cabbage-stacked 2-8-0 4 is now at the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association at Kent, CT.

The ex-Godchaux Sugar 3-foot gauge 2-6-0 6 is now on display at the Fennimore Railroad Historical Society Museum at Fennimore, WI.

Pat, I have been following the Edaville equipment for years. The Mexican engine is in Nevada City, Montana and the Louisiana sugar engine ERR#5
is at the WW&F RY Museum in Alna, Maine as their 10. Contact me if you want more.
