Lunkenheimer&std gauge bug *PIC*

The Lunkenheimer factory was here in Cincinnati. It closed over 10 years ago but the shop switcher, an 18T Plymouth with a Buda gas engine, has survived. I'm in the process of restoring it at this very moment. I suppose I'm also bit by the standard gauge bug since I've been volunteering every week for over a year now at the local train museum. It was there that I got to learn how to operate my first locomotive, a 15T Brookville, which I regularly run now when we need to do switching. With a 5 foot tall cab I fit in there better than the other guy who can run it who's about 7ft tall. Anyway back to Lunkenheimer, that locomotive is now in running condition after being idle for 10 years. We almost got to test the straight air last weekend but I found that we had a destroyed unloader in the compressor. So it'll be a few more weeks until I get to take her up and down the track, but I'm going to get the generator rebuilt today. Here's the locomotive that pulled all those whistles around the factory, at least those built after 1936:
