C&S 60
| September 25, 2016 07:20PM |
Hello,
Once again I am here to bug-(cough cough) *ask a question.
Okay, I know that 60 has a warped crown sheet from someone burning tires in her firebox and supposedly has an unknown issue with her running gear which supposedly saved her. Anything else wrong with her? I know she isn't the best candidate for restoration as unfortunately her tractive effort is only 15,500ish pounds. But, from what I have heard the Loop actually looked at restoring her a while back. Any details on the results they found?
Thanks,
John
