cosmetically restored and as you can see the cab,trucks and front coupler
has been restored and the first coat of paint was put on Sunday on this
South side of the engine,North side not painted yet. (Courtesy of Tom Boylan.)

Other side by Tom Boylan

I drove by about two weeks ago. The engine and the passenger coaches are clearly visible next to I-71.

Glad to see the right side is more complete than the left (cross head, valve linkage). I'm assuming the main rods are now razor blades or Toyotas?

I've seen it suggested (but AFAIK never done) to make replacement cosmetic parts from lumber. This could be done for the missing main rods, cross head, cross head guides, and valve linkage parts. That'd make it a much better looking display locomotive.

At any rate, glad to finally see one of the "Lost Locomotives" get saved.

Heartening to see the locomotive being attended to immediatly upon arrival! I wonder if a tender will be sought out to match the locomotive? Now, let's hope the other engines find a savior as well.
