Would anyone have a photo of this locomotive model, which I assume is one of the Pangborn models?

Weighing 700 pounds, the full-sized engine is a replica of the original Hercules locomotive that once hauled anthracite from northeastern Pennsylvania to the Lehigh Canal in the 1830s through the 1850s, pulling up to 30 cars behind it, according to museum historian Lance Metz. The 4-4-0 type gas engine was one of the first to ride the steep hills . . .

Another contender for "oldest internal combustion locomotive"?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha............

What is the status of the Pangborn models following the roundhouse collaspe? Did any survive; and will the damaged ones be restored?
