I applaud your efforts, John. Sometimes a well timed good Samaritan seems to get things moving in the right direction.
Thinking of parts, I wonder if there is a chance that 196 is exposed enough to at least contribute the missing spring rigging, if it was not removed before it was dumped and it's not too rusted to remove. Did the WP&Y keep any spares around for the 190's? You could almost imagine some parts off if the weeds up there that are just waiting to be rediscovered.
Keep up the good work.
