Re: Davenport 'trench' locomotive restored!

This is the chassis of the Davenport #1700 (Byron 2968) as it is today outside my office today
You can see the green on the cylinders and the driver centers. All three of them appear to have
been the same color, with the cab interior a much darker shade.
The one at Ft Benning GA is the #1705, but has been reported incorrectly in the past.
I have the boiler and several parts completed for this one, and it's just waiting for shop space.
