It's diesel powered, and was in operating condition last I heard. Unfortunately it's been heavily vandalized over the last few years.No clue how much it weighs or it's capacity. |

Information about its heritage would also be useful. |

What ever happened to all of this equipment is it still there? Are all the cars avaliable? Is current owner willing to sale? |

It's all still there, rusting/rotting away. As far as I know the owner is still willing to sell them, or even donate them to a museum. |
