Steve,

I believe you mean #278. #268 and caboose 0578. Sorry for the nitpick and you are correct about which items belong to the specific guys. Both engines are spectacular. I saw #278 at Bittercreek in August of 2008 along with #464 (also Ron's), RGS #41, Westside #14 and #15. There was also an entire Sandy River train there also with a caboose my son wanted to climb into. That was a great weekend.
