Taylor,
Hold up a second there.
"A piece they didn't list is the tender from the Candellarea which is next to the tender from Tonopah #4 in the John Day river by Bates, they're being used as a dam, not in terrible shape really."
The C&C (SPNG) is my other "home" road, right after the Nevada County Narrow Gauge, and I've never heard of this tender tank. Where did you hear about it from? By your responce it sound like you've even seen it.

The last I heard the #18 was steamed up to 45psi. and the whistle was blown some months ago.
They were also trying to secure a few miles of rail from a recently abandond branch line. They had to come up with $50k. I haven't heard anything past that.
