Matthew, great pictures. I have never seen any photographs that do justice to the restoration work... until now. In case anybody doesn't know, Mr. Day wrote a most comprehensive article on the 223, and it was published in the
Prospector magazine (Rio Grande Modeling & Historical Society).
Videos of the restoration work of the 223, and other projects undertaken by the Golden Spike chapter of the Railway & Locomotive Historical society, can be found at the YouTube channel titled
Sego Railroad Models, which is regularly updated, at least when they are doing something other that riveting.
I would include some of my photographs here, but they are much to big to be uploaded on this site.
