Kevin...No this is simply a post to direct folks to the current issue of Finescale Railroader, in which there are a number of photos of the 250/251, while in service in Baker City.
The originals were complete and offered for sale to SVRR in 1972, but at that time, there was no way SVRR had the support to come up with the then large sum of $16,000 plus shipping from Central America. They were finally torched by 1977 I believe at the latest.
At least we were able to get the original 19/20 tenders back, thanks to Sammy King
