One of the Norfolk & Western 4-8-0s still sitting in the scrapyard at Roanoke, VA. Fortunately, a dialogue has been started with the owners, so these cadavers may still be saved.

Hi
We have started a Dialouge with the Scrapyard Executors and hopefully will be able to save the old locos there. it is a long process and an interesting one to boot. we have a number of volunteers working on paperwork necessary to keep the process rolling. there is going to be many more needed as time passes to do everything else needed to accomplish the job.
if you want more info check out the lost engines group site where updates are posted and if you are interested in helping in some way contact me and let me know. We have people from as far away as England helping so dont think you are too far away to lend a helping hand in some way :-)
Thanks

We're also doing some fundraising right now, so that we can file for our Federal 501c3 status. Andrew has been our hot spark plug as of late, getting many of us moving in the same direction. Just wanted to give him a public pat on the back for his hard work. Thanks Andrew!
