That's a fine looking locomotive! I really like the Vanderbuilt tender. Not very common for a narrow guage (3'6" in this case) steamer.

Wikipedia says there were 141 of those built. That's a lot more than I expected.

Thanks for sharing, that's pretty cool. I was hoping to catch sight of Frodo or Gandalf but no luck today.. (Lord of the Rings reference)
