Hi Doug,

As far as I "recall" Don Shank had looked into it's restorations and determined it was """""Very tired""""". If I "recall" right, the bioler had issues too. I think the issue of how good the locomotive is, or what is wrong with it, does not really matter. The fact is....there are few people that can spend the money needed to get it going. Don is certainly not in that position at this time. I think the good news is that it it protected under the canopy now, and maybe one of these days can become a #315 project.

Jer
