Anybody have any info on how the Hardin group is coming along with the Lee Tidewater #4? Next time I get down that way I plan on stopping in to see her, she's kind of cute. Regards, John.

John,
As of this past fall, we have all of the tubes out of #4, the cab off and are in the process of needle gunning the inside shell of the boiler.
This past year we did not get as much done on her as we had planned, due to some other issues that required us to shift our efforts to.

We will keep the group updated on the progress we make.

Thanks for the response Bruce. I really like that engine, wish I lived closer so I could help out. Good luck and let us know what you find, hopefully good news on the fire box. John

Something that wasn't mentioned, but is like most museums, is that you may not be able to help physically, but any contributions you would care to send, would be greatly appreciated.
