Have not heard yet which locomotive the North Carolina Transportation Museum will send to Great Smoky Mountain RR's rail festival at Bryson City.

From the brochure, it doesn't appear NCTM is sending an engine this year. Flagg Coal 75 from the Steam Railroading Institute (aka operators of PM 1225) will be there however. Since 1702 is not operational this year, it will be nice to at least have one steam engine around.Check out this link... http://www.gsmr.com/Documents/railfest2 ... r.pdfKevin[/quote]

I noticed that the two-foot gage train that Dess Oliver of Rabun Gap, GA built several years ago will be running at the festival. Where have they built two-foot gage track and how long will the ride be?
