Hi This morning while up on facebook marketplace,, there was a new listing, for ex Wolfboro/Edaville 2-6-2 is up for sale,,. The listing was put up by the Grafton & Upton RR,, the engine is now located in Grafton, Mass at the G&U yard.. Also next to the post with the locomotive there is also a B&M caboose for sale,, Maybe some tourist line that is looking for a Steam locomotive will have some interest,, I am just passing this along.. I am Not and employee of the G&U RR,,, just a railfan... Pat. |

As a WK&S guy, I had always kind of hoped it would make it back, but also realized it needed a lot of work and it's better to spend money on what is already onsite. After seeing this post I immediately went looking for the post on the engine out of curiosity. Looks like they are asking $150k. I wonder what they paid Edaville for it. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BgStPRThQ/ |

I think that is former Bonhomie and Hattiesburg Southern 250. I remember seeing a classic "panned" shot of it on the B&HS in Trains years ago. A neat little locomotive. Wish I had the money to buy and restore it! Ned |

Nice machine. For the right pike, she'd make a fine addition as she has drivers that are 52" or thereabouts plus a healthy tractive effort figure. IIRC, this this partly account of her 26" stroke instead of the much more common 24" stroke found on a great many surviving smaller engines. Tom |

Well, thanks for the correction. I was sure off on that one as I assumed that she and 2-8-2 300 were pretty much identical. Not so, I just now learned. Your help is much appreciated. Tom |

I remember it from the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern Days. Rode behind it in the 1960's. Might actually have some 8mm to video footage of it someplace. |

Does anyone know if boiler drawings exist for 250? Or info from baldwin about sheet thickness? |

Hi You could try the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania at Strasburg, Pa,, they have some of the Baldwin Locomotive records.. Or you can try a search with your search engine Baldwin Locomotive records,, maybe more will come up... good luck. . |
