Agreed!!! She sounds great. Nice square, crisp exhaust... and that whistle! Not bad after a 50 plus year nap!
After hearing that, I'll get used to the silver candy canes feeding the boiler
. Anybody worrying or uptight over fuel type should come live in my neighborhood- half an hour from TRAINS Magazine headquarters, and now a steam desert. If I got to listen to listen that oil burner once every six months- let alone every day- I think it'd add years to my life.
