All,

Good on all of you that are working on the locomotive.

I was afraid that when it started to be taken apart that they locomotive would end up like the two switch locos at the Golden Gate Railroad Museum which are on flat car with little prospect of ever going back together.

I am especially glad to see the Western Pacific emblems going back on the tender. It is especially nice to know that they are authentic WP items!

One of the above mentioned locomotives, State Belt #4, is now under restoration by another group:
