Familiar story of a reclaimed steam locomotive that is decorated to look like a clown, rather than a working machine. SHe's in great hands now and looks like a Maine two-footer is supposed to. WW&F is a great operation. Everyone who visits it loves it instantly.

Eric,One of the reasons is that the WW&F Shop restored the original straight stack. Paint is easy to change, but casting are much harder!Those guys always get a job done!I am most interested to see what the shop puts on top of that pair of B&SR trucks that the museum bought from the Edaville, USA folks!

Yeah I know that. That helped more then anything. I know just about everything that was done to that locomotive and I also help work on it a few times! Great people out there.

A 118-style flatcar will be built over the B&SR trucks. The stringers for it arrived on Saturday. 30-footers, no splicing needed. That's a winter project.
