In the years that I was there, which was in the late 1960's, I never saw Robert pull any of the throttles while a locomotive was under steam. The 318 and 20 were inoperable at the time that I was there and the 346 was the only locomotive capable of steaming.

The rebuild was done by Chris Ahrens (who also posts here) and lasted for a good long time, a testament to the high quality of his work. I don't know if Chris ever saw him run one or not. I, for one, never did.
