Marty is retired and building boilers for live steam locomotives under the business name of Ridge Locomotive Works, www.RidgeBoiler.com
And yes, HRR 3 is a Porter mogul that came from Hal Wilmunder's CC&N. It was sold to William von Seht in Wisconsin, then went to the Tobie's Mill & Mission Creek RR in Hinckley, Minnesota. After that operation shut down it was sold to Japan.
1203 IS the Porter diesel that at last report was at the Sumpter Valley, slated to go to Silver Plume for the Georgetown Loop.
