Here is a recent photo. She looks to be in good shape. Unfortunately she does not have cover and is displayed sans jacketing but that is often the best option where there is no cover.

Maybe it won't work out. But maybe seeing if it does will be the best adventure ever.

I suppose one shouldn't quibble is a locomotive is cared for and painted, but this is one of my pet peeves in steam preservation. I hate to see a steamer sans jacket, although I fully understand the water rationale. RMPA has the jackets for many of the Pennsy collection, even those indoors, yet they remain stored in the tenders. My request; Please re-install the jackets!

Just remember to NOT install lagging when it comes time to put those jackets on. Why anyone would do that is a total mystery to me.
