Said to be a Baldwin, at Olmstead Falls, Ohio. Pretty wild paint. Which one is this?

Steamlocomotive.com lists it as Sturm & Dillard #8082; display location is the Grand Pacific Junction Antique Mall in Olmstead Falls.

Speaking of saddletankers, I was informed last weekend at the museum that the folks at the Little River Railroad operation in White Pigeon, Michigan have recently restored their 0-4-0T that was long derelict as a display engine for the group in Hesston, Indiana. Apparently there are some tentative plans to operate the Vulcan next year IF trackage rights are cleared (LRRR has had some problems in recent years with their landlord short line railroad.) I don't know if anyone from LRRR reads RyPN or not, but it sure would be nice if someone does, if they could post a photo of the now operable saddletanker on line.
