Any update on these engines? Last I heard was that they were donated to the Virginia Museum of Transportation. Are they all going to end up there? Since there are three of the 4-8-0 in this collection of engines, I have always wondered about the possibility of one of them ending up in the roundhouse at the NCTM. Since N&W did go into North Carolina, it would make sense.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Erik
My understanding is that the VMT is looking to hire a contractor to remove the asbestos at this time.
As to whether they will want to get all the engines and hopper cars is up to them.
I think the NCTM was approached first of last year by someone from Roanoke. Whether they accepted or were even offered any of the equipment there I dont know. Jim Wrinn is still a part of the NCTM so he may know more than I do.
That is it right now but I will be going back down to the scrapyard in March so I can post more when I find out what is going on.
