 Post subject: NG steam in California?
PostPosted: Fri May 14, 2004 8:10 am 

From the Sacramento Valley RRs list:

"This Saturday at the Nevada County Narrow Gauge museum
http://www.ncngrrmuseum.org/index.htm
They will be steaming up Sacramento Brick Co 0-4-0T. This will be the
first time this steamer has steamed for 40+ years! She is painted
really pretty as they did engines back in the 1800's.

I hope to get up there tomorrow. Here is a photo of the engine on loan from the Wilmunder's.

Sacramento Brick Porter

Bob,

The boys at the museum have been working hard to get the Porter ready for the event tomorrow. Of note a lot of work was done to the badly damaged cab, after all the work in that area the cab is simply beautiful and looks much like what the cab would have looked like as built.
The rest of the Engine however is still wearing its "Antelope Western" paint from Hal Wilmunder's ownership. His Son Les is the current owner and has said he intends to restore the engine to its as built appearance in time.

I'll be on hand at the museum tomorrow with the rest of the group if anyone will be making the trip up there.
