For your enjoyment, here are two videos and an image of the EBT's recently reactivated Shops Steam Engine. The engine will be operated for the public for the first time this Friday October 9 at 11:00 AM.

Great job on the restoration. I just wanted to add that my long-time friend and lead Boilerhouse Rat, Jim Bacon (with the full-beard, starting around 4:11 into the video), is just about the finest backyard mechanic and all-around gear-head you'd want to have on your restoration team. He can do more with a hammer and a gas-ax than just about anyone else I know, and is the person I'd most want to have involved in any preservation project. FEBT is really lucky to have him.
