Sounds like it has been very gung ho there. More has happenned to these engines in about 6 months than the 50 years sitting in the scrap yard.

I'm glad that you are enjoying my photos. I have plenty more to post and will get back to that set soon. I've been posting photos of the Craig Valley line that I took this weekend.
I'm surprised I have done well answering the comments on there. I do try and if I'm mistaken one something or someone states something that is wrong and I do not catch it please send me a message and let me know and I'll correct it.

I was wondering about 1134's "pilot". I see you corrected yourself. I was thinking it looked like the grab handles we use on back for trailers. Not often I have to replace those or install them.

I do hope to make it back before 1134 leaves. I would like to get shots of it painted. My camera shoots great video as well. It would be beat to get video of the 1134 move or the 1118 rolling for the first time.

I do plan to make it back and give a hand down there. One for letting me take these photos. Also even better that when I see one of these at a museum I can say I helped work on that. That alone is motivation enough. Right now I don't know when as I have some family stuff going on. But I hope to help out soon. I will help out when I can.
Thanks MikeD
