Wow. I was looking at #11 sitting in the park in Nicholasville a few weeks ago. Wouldn't think that little kettle would pull a string that long by looking at it. |

A capable little engine. She deserves better than to be sitting in a park. Does anyone have any information on plans for something better? Glen

No plans other than for her to stay in Riney-B Park for the forseeable future. She is however in a much better situation than she was over a year ago. She was moved to the park after she had from all accounts a very real and very close brush with the cutters torch. I'd like to know who made the PVC copy of her number plate thats on her today. I almost thought it was the real thing when I first saw it. |

I liked her when she was in Tampa and I got to run her frequently. -JH
