Not sure all that has been done. Certainly various pieces of equipment have been shot outside but heard tonight that there was also some shooting in barn #9 so .... both of the above it seems !. Nigel

Unfortunately #26 is still out beyond the drop pit South of the shop. She cannot be moved until the Shay has its truck refitted. I would also like to she her back under cover. Nigel

Yes. You are not alone in this. From what we know it seems she is mechanically in good condition. This would put her ahead of a lot of other smaller locomotives in the collection that would need a lot of mechanical work. She is a very sensible size for what the museum needs. Much more efficient to operate than 1630 when pulling anything reasonable on our display line or maybe even short excursions. She is 50% more powerful than #16, which is the other small locomotive in the collection that seems to be in good mechanical shape but might be rather limited by its size. HOWEVER the firebox needs heavy work if not replacement. I seriously doubt that the scale of work required is achievable with our all volunteer work force. Now if we could come up with funding to have the boiler work done by specialists, everything looks different. But that is for the future. Nigel

Yes. As far as we know she is in sound mechanical condition and would generally be within the ability of our team. Nigel
