Hi all
With the closing of Edaville theme park and the property being sold to King Richards Fair,, and an auction coming up at Edaville, to sell the unneeded rides at the park.
The Maine Machine shop has been busy moving equipment out of Edaville.. The standard gauge equipment, is being relocated to the Grafton & Upton RR in North Grafton, Mass..
At this writing the tender of the locomotive arrived last week, now the rest of the locomotive has also arrived to the G&U RR..
I have no idea what intentions the G&U has for the Steam Locomotive, I know it had to moved,, out of the park in Edaville..
The photos are from Face book, via screen shot... also a standard gauge caboose was also moved out of the park,, along with the locomotive.. Pat.

Somewhere in time #250 got a larger replacement tender. Did the original survive?

Looks like it had the same tender. Are you thinking of Reader 11, also a 2-6-2, that has what almost looks like an S-160 tender, rediculously tall compared to the engine?

My understanding is the Wolfeboro scrapped 250's original BLW tender years ago. Like Valley RR No. 97, the 250 got an ex-Central Vermont tender off a wreck derrick as a replacement.

Hi
I do have a question regarding the replacement tender that the locomotive has now,, What year did the Wolfboro RR, replace the tender.
I do hope someone can answer the question,, thank you, Pat.
