Like Jim said above - the Strasburg has little other choice, but I was curious given such a choice, is one more preferable then the other?

Tender First. It's almost "historically accurate" for a shoreline railroad. Besides, all the engines are equipped with couplers in the front. Someone sure intended for engines to run backwards with trains back in the day. ;)

Send your check for $2,000,000 and I'll get started as soon as it clears.....

We could have your loki up and going for no more than 1.25....... Yes it needs a lot but not 2 mil worth.
