| January 07, 2020 05:11PM |
To Rail Fans everywhere, and especially GEARED, ARTICULATED and NARROW GAUGE Fans... Here is your chance to help us bring home the Gold.... Corry RAILS (Corry Rail And Industrial Legacy Society) is raising funds to help with the retrieval and restoration of one of the most unique engines in America.... the last remaining complete and original Climax "A". This is Shop Number (SN) 313, a 36" NG built in 1902 in Corry, PA and shipped to Nome, Alaska as the second of four Climax "A"s to run as part of the "Wild Goose Railroad" during Nome's Gold Rush era. She later ran as the Golovin Bay Railroad. She is coming home this Summer to complete the restoration begun by Keith Christenson in 1980.
As part of our fundraising efforts, and to help get the word out, we have created an inexpensive (every little bit helps) collectible 2020 Calendar with a brief history of both Climax Manufacturing and this engine, Climax A-313. These are 11"x17", 13 month calendars with 2 extra pages for notes. They are artistically produced in an "Old-School" style with a 60# parchment backer. Obviously, your copy will not have SAMPLE covering it. The Calendars are available on Ebay (just search CLIMAX CALENDAR 2020) either individually, or in 2 packs or 4 packs, if you want to order some for friends. 1 for $15, 2 for $22 or 4 for $36, shipped FREE in a tube to your door in the U.S.... and through Ebay International Shipping to other countries. They are also available on our Facebook page (Corry RAILS) and soon they will be available on a new Website, currently under construction. You can email us for further info about the calendars or our project at corryrails@gmail.com. Thanks a bunch. Corry RAILS
