Re: Nevada County Narrow Gauge Engine #5

Here is a photo of the Argent #5 at the NCNGRR museum. The engine when they got it didn't have a tender so we had lent them our WSLC loading car and put the former studio tender shell on it plus the water tank. Once it was at the museum I wanted the loading car back so built a new tender frame for it and restored a pair of four wheel trucks that the Northern Queen had and put them under it. It looks much better and is functional. The loading car had a tendency to derail due to it ridged frame. John
