Steve, I'm glad you brought up this aspect of NG
railroading. A lot of history there. And Bruce, I owned Crown #1 for 17 years so you know I had a lot of hours at the throttle and my wife was the only woman in town with genuine steam locomotive parts on her kitchen cabinet. Emmet will help me vouch for the fact that they are great engines and bring railroading to a lot of people who might never have any other chance to see real steam at work. As for Geo. Sapp, wouldn't it be funny if we were relatives. My mother's maiden name was Sapp!
