Thank you for sharing that link. Great photos and a great move by IPRH.

For the T&P experts, do you think that the typeface used for the tender lettering is accurate?

The lettering is totally accurate. Earl Knoob used pictures of T&P engines to get the correct lettering style. He was very picky about getting it correct.

Nice to see a glimpse of 610.

If Earl says it's right, you can take it to the bank. She looks great guys.
Now for the red circus wagon.

If TomSTP says its right, you can take that to the bank too.

The Trading Post in Maydel used to offer cooked food and they had the best chicken-fried steaks you would ever eat. You did not dare order a large one, the regular one would feed 2 people with big appetites. Don't know if they still cook there or not. If not a cafe in Rusk on highway 59 has good chicken-fried steaks.

Thanks to the link, and to the person who posted the images. Love to see when steam gets back on the rails.

Cheers,
Karl

Great looking engine! I love this railroad and hope to visit someday!

That is great to here. With so many museums (large and small) relying on "close enough" off-the-shelf computer fonts its good to hear that some still care to respect the craft of traditional railroad lettering.

The news that TSR will respect the history of its locomotives and rolling stock and be able to rely less on government funding is truly outstanding news.
