Re: Compressed Air Locomotives, Anacortes, WA

The late Tommy Thompson's converted compressed air locomotive and cars are to be placed in a museum per his wishes. A local group, Anacortes Train & Rail (350 volunteers), are seeking to procure another compressed air locomotive for conversion to steam. In the interim we are converting several 18" gauge flat cars to passenger cars. We are also looking for a small
diesel critter that may be converted to 18" gauge.
We are attempting to complete Tommy's dream of
a run from the old Great Northern Depot to Weaverling Spit (about 3.2 miles). Any sugestions or leads would be appreciated. Drawings of conversions from compressed air to steam are really desired.
Thanks for listening!
