I like the driving box being used as a block for the jack in #4.

"Boss I only count 5 boxes. Anyone know where L2 went?"

Any progress on that B&M Mountain ?

Slow but steady progress on the 3713. Perhaps there should be something special planned for March 7th.....3-7-13.


When Baldwin #26 is finished how about an organized photo freight shoot shifting freight cars around the yard at Steamtown. Park rangers or volunteers dressed in period railroad clothing. Of course might have to clear out some of the yard to eliminate unwanted background clutter. (oh no....unwanted background clutter and Steamtown in the same paragraph may not be the best thing to post.)

Ed, do you have any photos of Baldwin 26 before she went into overhaul? This is the best one of mine I could find, taken about a week before the Steamtown Grand Opening in 1995. I thought I had more, but realized it's all on old VHS video.
