I'd wait a bit before heading up to OR to see Skookum. As the photo in Stewart's post shows, she's a very pretty locomotive, but she's not operational yet. I just finished a nice, 3-day charter on the OCSR, but unfortunately, other steam engines had to sub for Skookum as she still has some technical issues. I'm sure that Martin (Loggerhogger) will let us all know when she's ready run.
