It is my understandinng that the WW&F Ry Museum is going to have to build a new boiler for their #9 because the Maine inspectors will not allow the 1892
lap seam boiler that the Portland Company put on the engine.
Some company in Maine built a new boiler for one of the German engines at the Boothbay Village two foot railroad, but that was a lot of years ago and who knows if they are still in business.
Far better to let the engine stay as a display someplace than to have it become another Gettysburg type accident. Or worse kill someone!
