Finished before the cold season comes in. This is a GE 65 ton donated to us by Cargill in Cincinnati. We decided to use one of the Navy paint schemes the engine once had. Still some stripes to add. Several people seem to think the engine is light blue in the photos and have emailed me to see if we had acquired Muncie and Western #7. It isn't blue, it's gray. Fair amount of prep work went into getting all the railing straightened, pilots, and the lower aprons ready. We also had to rebuild one of the two engines when we received the engine. http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/steamtown/wwvr001dfb.jpg http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/steamtown/wwvr001dfc.jpg David Farlow |
