Keep up the great work guys, Hopefully you will soon have enough servicable locomotives to not need that ugly old 4-8-0, and will want to unload it on some of us "suckers" down in Virginia :). As I told Carl when I was up there a couple of years ago, if I ever win the lottery, the first thing I'm going to do is buy some track. The second thing will be to make you an offer on 475........

Who may I ask is "ORX" BTW- those wheelsets look snappy! Thanks.

ORX has also supplied new roller bearing equipped lead truck wheelsets for many of today's operating (and formerly operating) steam locomotives. We had them build one for our Southern Ks-1 630 including new boxes to house the bearing in the existing lead truck frame pedestals.

I think one of their ads included a picture of the 4449.
