Hi Doug,

Here is a shot of #9, taken during the WW&F Victorian Christmas Event during 2015. This was just days after she made her first run:

WW&F #9

My first reaction upon seeing the finished product was that this is a "Smithsonian quality" restoration.....except this engine actually runs....in regular service. It reminded me a lot of when I first saw the restored Sierra #3. Both are pretty locomotives. Interestingly, both were built in the same year: 1891.
