I least I got the fact it was somewhere on UK Island somewhere???
Somewhere I read a neat story about how this engine was acquired. It was still in Bethlehem when purchased from a group in the UK(Okay England),
and it ran under its own power. I believe I put something about it in our video, but don't recall the details right now. At one time I think there were plans to lay some 42 inch gauge rail to operate it, but I guess those plans are not too high on the list these days!!!
