I see Ozark Mountian Railcar has just isted a1944 Blawin 2-8-0 for sale. Only $415K Said to be restorable.
"Built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1944 as a S-160 Consolidation for the Alaska Railroad as #3523. Sold into private ownership in 1965 and stored since. Some of the unit's mechanical details include: power reverse, new driving tires, valve gear in excellent condition, brake system in tact, boiler in excellent condition, sound fire box w/no patches or repairs and to original specs, boiler tubes rolled and welded, super heater elements have original manufactures plates and numbers, all appliances intact, cab valves, gauges, etc in tact."
Hey Earl! Could this be used on the LeVeta run?
