Rick, I followed the rebuild of #71 from afar and beleive you are correct. I used to subscribe to the Clear Creek Courant to keep up on news out there. There was pictures posted of the Plastic engine house back in the day. Can't remember which sight, might have been here on this board or over on RYPN. I rode the cab twice and don't remember the roughness as it went so slow down and up. Still was nice to be in the cab of a Hot C&S NG engine for me. I was sorry to see it fail but understand that snake oil lubricant doesn't last long. I enjoy reading your thoughts so thanks for posting.
