What kind of mechanical problems was she having a couple weeks ago when the doubleheader trip was scheduled?

Both the loco and the business car need a shed for protection from the elements (I know, easier said than done). Has vandalism been a problem? Nice work just the same.

I would've loved to have been able to get out there, but home projects needed my attention. I hope to see the CNJ 113 running again soon.

Short answer - "YES".

I heard once the engine proves it's reliability, the jacket
will come. It maybe what needed proving has already justified
adding the jacketing. Ie; recent issues might not interfere
with the decision to add the jacketing.

IMHO...if they would just feed the locomotive 20% Bituminus and 80% Anthracite, or, down to 50% x 50% mix of each, I would bet that she steams just fine. All this Wootten firebox/Phoebe snow business is OK to a point... (marketing/advertising) that is, but throw in a little Kentucky Lignite in there will get up a real head of steam and plenty of photo run smoke!
