Thanks for the update. I really enjoyed my visit in 2008 with my youngest son, a very interesting and fascinating step back in time. Perhaps a stupid question, your comment that the locomotive having been last shopped in 1956 and remaining in the roundhouse since then. Was this a factor in choosing to restore this one? Granted sitting inside beats sitting out in the open, or in a park. But I assume still lots of deterioration. Thanks again for the update, on the bucket list for 2022 with the oldest grandson.
