Our 0-6-0 #41, has been repainted and relettered.
We no longer write the name Appoquinimink out on the tender, but simply A.R.R. which is historically, what was written on the tenders for decades before the tourist operation began.

4-4-0 #901, 2-8-0 #719 and 4-8-2 #1163 will all also receive this lettering during the course of the tourist season.

0-6-0 #41 was used heavily this spring, and is now in for it's monthly inspection.

Did I miss something?

I have never heard of this operation before, if this is for real, do you have some more information or a website?

If it is a live steam operation, you must have had to write it in small letters to make it fit. :)

Where's Erik?? This guy sounds like a fake. There is no such operation as the "Appoquinimink RR". Need some Rypn policing of this board, folks!!

I thought the same thing; especially when this message and the other one above it has different names and the same addresses; hence my retorical questions.

BTW, the e-mail address appoquinimink2003@yahoo.com did not match anyone in Yahoo's member directory.

So that's where that MKT 4-8-2 ended up. They traded an IC 4-8-4 for it.
