They've done a nice job restoring that engine. Thanks for the links. -- Russ

Thanks Chuck!
Great find. I love that loco! I learned SO MUCH building it.

I'm at work so I will look at the youtube vids later.

Those guys are friggin nuts! No way I'd go in one of those holes!
And I'm not claustrophobic!

I thought it was neat to see how the friction plate worked.

Nice find Chuck.  Thanks for sharing.

That could be a good job for Martin when he gets done teaching!! :)

Works just like my Ariens snowblower.  Even sounds like it.  But, I must admit, if I had a choice, I'd take the snowblower over the loco just because the loco can't throw snow.
