I was there on Saturday and really enjoyed seeing No. 11. She's wearing a great whistle that I could hear it even before I got into the show, and it was wonderful to smell the coal smoke in the air.

The aesthetics of the engine are a little strange though. They took a Porter (or rather, parts from two Porters, Anaconda Copper Nos. 10 and 11) and dressed it up like a Baldwin, with Baldwin-style domes and a Baldwin bell. I think it would have looked better if it remained a saddle-tanker.
