Hi Dan,
I too was hoping to get a current status. Guess you might need to give them a phone call direct. You can see the photo on their web site but it takes some effort to get into to it. It does not show the damage to the cab and tender.
Latest I heard is that all valves and backhead is now repaired, yet to do cab floor and shell. Also need to build new side sheets of the tender, but the machinery, boiler, is fine and it ran on compressed air. The boiler had water in it when the fire occurred. Need Number, wire off list? PRR
