Video clip of a friend's project in the UK. I believe these "lone wolf" Alco exports have been discussed here before. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=R2aK6lKSgjc |

This ALCO. Santa Fe 4-6-2 #3415 in Abilene, Kansas. The magnificent restoration of C&NW GP7 #4160 at the Illinois Railway Museum. We had one at our museum. Pronounced as "totally worn out" and "only suitable for static display", our EMD Model 40 was brought back to life a couple of winters ago by one of our members. There is something quite heartwarming in seeing these locomotives once again move under their own power. Les Beckman (Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum/North Judson, Indiana) |
