Here is a link I found for 1702's restoration. It looks like they finally have ahold of something and looks like steam will finally be a regular fixture on the Murphy Branch! Congratulations to GSMR and good luck!

I must have overlooked something...I see stuff about the engine house and the turntable, but not much about 1702.

The 1702, forgive me for my ignorance, is an S160 correct?

I think that they are going to build a new engine house for 1702 and then bring in the guys to rebuild her along with GSMR's guys once the engine house is done then the rebuilding will begin. From what I understood.

Where is the inspection pit? This railroad is on the top 5 list of NEEDING to pit a locomotive daily along with the likes of the GCR, D&S, C&TS, White Pass.....etc.

I think the turntable diagram also shows an inspection pit, on the right side of the drawing.

The inspection pit is very clearly labeled on this drawing:
