NIce locomotive in a nice spot. I'd like to see her put under cover. I wonder if she'll ever feel heat again, something like CNJ 113?

We're working on a streetcar project up there at the moment.

If anybody has any 'vintage' photos or links of B&M working some of those incredibly tight curves and sidings in Lowell, I'd love to see them. The more I research the place, the more I realize that it equals Baltimore or Philadelphia on the tight curves and quarters up there on the B&M. They wedged the railroad in 20 years after the industrial base started.

Frankly I find it hard to believe that an 0-6-0 could handle some of the curves.

Randy,

Regarding photos, have you tried contacting the folks at the Walker Museum in Beverly, MA? http://www.walkertrans.org It's a pretty safe bet they have what you are looking for... PM me if you need help.

Stephen
