Steam & Excursion > 4014 and 261Date: 03/16/17 17:32 4014 and 261 Author: Buttons2013 Don't know if anyone noticed, but the 261 folks posted on their Facebook page that the UP Steam folks donated all of the grates from 4014 to the 261 organization. Guess those grates will be burning coal after all these years after all.

Date: 03/16/17 18:58 Re: 4014 and 261 Author: RuleG Based on reading that Facebook post, it's obvious that 261 group is "grateful" for the donation!
Sorry, I couldn't resist. Date: 03/16/17 20:15 Re: 4014 and 261 Author: ProAmtrak Yeah but I bet the UP Steam Crew before Ed said "you're welcome" and Ed? I don't think he would even say that!

Trying to put THAT into a 4-8-4 would be quite a job, A seven-jet MB stoker coal distribution array is also a little large. Would make a better 'spare' for a DM&IR giant Baldwin Beast.... Ill bet the stoker screw is way longer than what the 4-8-4 was buil with, too. Oh, well. They'll probably load the donated parts to a gin for shipment... W.

Wes, what is a gin? I assume you ment a gondola. Gin is for drinking my friend, and if we ever meet, I will buy the first round... Posted from iPhone Date: 03/17/17 15:42 Re: 4014 and 261 Author: wcamp1472 OOOPS , I musta had tee many Martoonies...
'Gin' should be Gon, ------- short for RR gondola car, Not the Italian one.... W. Date: 03/17/17 20:58 Re: 4014 and 261 Author: SP4360 Not to worry, Ed will cut them in half, then donate the pieces for 2 locomotives.
