Yes. Look like that it will go there.
Thats an uprise haha from 5300ft moderate climate to 8000ft subarctic climate.

I guess they will store it outside for the foreseeable future. Will see how much winters the
Shay can withstand the elements.

Anyone konow if they purchased it or they have a storage and display agreement with the actual owner.
quote their last sentence on their home page:
http://moffatrailroadmuseum.org/index.html
""" We are currently in need of a laptop for the museum and are looking for someone who can donate one. """
Did not sound to me like an organization who can acquire, move, restore, maintain and
display a several 100k$ piece in museum-like-indoor condition?

What are your thoughts?
