Here's a mini-update from THA president Marcus Brown:
"Our desire is to move the locomotives to Samoa...(we) are currently negotiating with the owner of the roundhouse to lease the building. We are proposing that we replace the failed roofing in exchange for rent...(using) volunteer labor and donated materials..."
In a phone conversation with Mr. Brown, they still need the $30K for the truck, and the December 31 deadline still looms ahead of them.
Ted and Martin - thanks for the input; I passed it along to the folks at the THA.
