Just a note to wish you well and thank you for your williness to serve our country.

May you have great success and know that folks here at home are thinking of and praying for you (and all the troops) as you go serve our great nation.

Thank you as well for all the postings here. Maybe when you get back, your engine will be assembled that you have worked so hard on.

God Bless You, and God Bless the USA

Thanks JD and Stephen. I'm proud to serve 20+ years in the world's greatest Air Force. Thanks to all with the help on info, pics, and answering my questions on steam locomotives and 565. I have alot to learn. I hope to be able to still get to RYPN while over there.

Thanks again, Steve.

Steve, if you find any of the missing parts from DL&W 565, please tag them and send them home. Otherwise, serve safely. We all appreciate the risk you and you fellow airmen are facing.

Wait a minute, isn't he supposed to be looking for an Erie Pacific?

Oh, wait, that's North Korea. It's the Southern Railway 2-8-8-0 he's supposed to be looking for in Iraq.

<:-)

On a more serious note, thank you, and may your God be with you.

" Hi Len,

Thanks for your prayers,
Steve ."

Thanks everyone for the support, we really do appreciate it over here. I made it in no problems and getting the tour today of our base we have railroad tracks that the Iraqis are using! I will try to get some pics of the engine coming one of these days.
Thanks again!
