Without starting another "engines that got away" thread (hopefully!!!), does anyone have a list of the 30 or so steam locomotives that Mr. Spence had obtained for use on his railroad. I seem to recall one published somewhere years ago, but searching the net has come up empty so far.

Another possible source is a TRAINS magazine article. This is from the index available through the Klambach website:

"The strange story of Mr. Spence and his steam engines"
Trains, March 1963 page 45
Gulf Sand & Gravel; preserved steam locomotives

I have not pulled my copy of this issue. But, I recall an issue with photos of many individual locomotives.
