Dave -

Thanks for the postcard. Although the fake diamond stack, the box headlight and "cowcatcher" had been added for the tourist train operation, the rest of the locomotive, including the full saddle tank, and the location of the bell just to the left of the smokestack, jives with the 0-4-0T there at Gulf Power. Now the question appears to be whether the engine is still in existence in Edmonton. I checked on the internet for the Fort Edmonton Park operation, but the train operation there uses a Baldwin 2-6-2 and there is nothing about an 0-4-0T, even as a display.

UPDATE:

The city of Bainbridge, Georgia voted last night to let the city of Corbin, Ky have the 2132 for their museum.

The last of the L&N trio and the only South Louisville shops product is coming home.

The KRM probably wouldn't give up their 0-8-0 since it's an L&N locomotive.

What does that have to do with the 2132?

Someone mentioned previously that they might be interested in getting 2152 from the KRM.

Any word on when they'll be taking the loco out of the park in Bainbridge? It's well below the level of the state highway running next to it, it'll be entertaining to see how they get it up that short hill.
