WOW !!! She's beautiful. Congratulations to all involved on getting your hands on such a nice lokey to work on. That roof over her sure saved you a mountain of misery. Santa has been good to you, and we wish you all the very best in the New Year,

Sammy & Audrey

Congratulations from here as well! As much as I am a fan of the big engines, watching (and hearing!) the Gramling Brothers' locomotives at work has shown me those little pots can put on a show equal to main line power.

I wonder if this type of 0-4-0T was a stock design. It looks very similar to a lost engine that was in Oak Hill, W.Va., and at least one other that I've seen photos of.

A sweet, stocky, little tank loco for certain! Looks to be very viable, too!
