About 1956, not long after it made the last steam commuter run on the Central Mass. Branch.

After the locomotive left edaville in 1993; it went to the Danbury Railroad Museum in Danbury, Connecticut.

The Antique Machinery Association at Kent Connecticut also got a narrow gauge locomotive displayed at Edaville; it was the Argent Lumber locomotive if memory serves.

The 30" Mexican locomotive went to Virginia City, Montana.

Does anyone know where the any of the other narrow gauge locomotives that were not from Maine went to?

The two-foot henshel engine went to the Beaver Brook Museum in New Hampshire, back to Edaville during Jack Flagg's time there and it went back there after Flagg left. Present where a bouts unknown. A locomotive that was near the exit, next to the model-t ride, was sold to a museum out west I believe. The Climax was bought by the Railroad Museum of PA and is on display there. That's all I can remember right now.

The ex-FCM Baldwin (2'6" ga.) was restored and now operates in tourist service out of Virginia City, Montana. Also, the little Davenport Mogul that was on display is now at a museum in Fenimore, Wisconsin, to represent the old C&NW narrow gauge which ran through there.

As far as the old Beaver Brook equipment goes, an entire lot of 2' stuff was reportedly sold to a party out West this year, but it is my understanding that the deal fell through.
