Saw this on railpictures - it seems the number of WM units being put back in good shape is growing. They say the target is Sept 2009, pretty ambitious, I wonder if it will be running or cosmetic? http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.p ... 456&nseq=4 |

Operating.......... they (supposedly) need the motive power. It doesn't hurt that they're friends of/with the Western Md. RR Historical Society in Union Bridge, from what I understand, as well as the chaps at Elkins/Belington. This is just the "Wild Mary" version of Bennett Levin's PRR E8's, if you ask me.......... |

> they (supposedly) need the motive power No, not supposedly. > It doesn't hurt that they're friends of/with the Western Md. RR Historical Society I'm not a member of the Society. They have two prices for everything; member and non-member. I pay the higher price for good, accurate information, which over the years amounts to over $1,000. > from what I understand Someone is feeding you bogus information. > as well as the chaps at Elkins/Belington Not a chance. > This is just the "Wild Mary" version of Bennett Levin's PRR E8's Mr. Levin deserves better than having his immaculate locomotives compared to a couple tired old geeps. > if you ask me.... I don't recall anybody doing that. |
