The Museum of Science and Industry sold two steam loco replicas in 2015.

One went to B&O Museum and I would like to know where the John Stevens replica went.

This one is not to be confused with the later replica that has been at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

I wonder how much they sold it for.

Folks,
For the first time in years; I guess i have stumped the band!

My guess was that it went to a non-profit; which would want to blow its whistle about the arrival!

The John Stevens replica was purchased by Rosa and John H, Hovey and donated to the Samuel C. Williams Library, located on the campus of the Stevens Institute for Technology in Hoboken, NJ.

David,
Thank you for that reply.

I think that is a lot of money for that little thing; but it seems to be a good place for it!
