>As for information on Tweetsie's engines i recommend Johnny Graybeals book series "Along The ET&WNC", which currently has 4 volumes out. The first two are on the engines only, they have loads of information on all 16 narrow gauge engines.
Which volume discusses 190 ?
> As for the condition after the fire I would have imagined the boilers them selves were probably still in fair condition but as far as the mechanical workings of the engines imagine that many of the rods, brake bars, crossheads and other hardware were damaged well beyond restoration.
That might be the case, however the end with # 10 didn't burn completely and this engine looks to be in fairly good shape. The roof collapsed, but the area around the engine didn't get that burned.
They probably didn't need it by 44 so there was no point in restoration.
> The most ironic thing about the fire is that according to the paper work that I have USA #190 was sent to Whitehorse to take over there duties, now #190 runs with there sister #12 at Tweetsie.
What 'paper work' is that?
