George,
Actually the Sumpter Valley was in negotiations with Guatemala for the retrieval of both locomotives. I believe the asking price was $8,000 each, not including shipping. We were led to believe they were being held while the money was raised, only to find that yet another revolution had resulted, and by the time we were able to get a representative back down south they were gone. So with all that "good" notice, and buyers raising capital, they still got torched. At least we got our tenders back.
