Santa Fe Locomotive... I guess if take a mile to stop, it doesn't matter that you can't see. :rolleyes:

That thing could have used a periscope.

Old school puffer.

That looks like a Shay.

That would make one awesome bong.

Yes it would.

The Kleven green tunnel. :thumb:

The Flying Scotsman Back On The Tracks After £4 Million Restoration

Attachment 55378

You beat me to it Mr G!

Given that the restoration took ten years and cost well in excess of £4 million ($5.6m+) you can only speculate as to how much of the original engine is left.
I think that they must go by the principle that if the name plate is original, then it doesn't matter what else you weld, bolt, rivet or otherwise attach to it.

I mustn't be churlish; it's great to see it under steam again.

I stumbled onto this from Central PA. East Broad Top RR is the oldest surviving narrow gage RR in the country but they're in some financial distress.

The locomotives were built by Baldwin a PA company as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baldwin_Locomotive_Works
