So, this struck a chord for me...

I turned 25 the day the boiler was lifted off the frame...

I am now 38. It is amazing how fast time flies. I know that most of this project was held up because of funding, and in no way reflects the skills of the CRRM and the Strasburg RR; but, its odd thinking that this kind of work would be done in a few weeks/months in the hay day of the railroads. If this level of work was ever done...

There is a lot of history with this engine, both in the past, and yet to be made!!

I just need to find Doc Brown so I can properly document both!!!!
