Steam & Excursion > Question about the SkookumDate: 09/23/20 23:45 Question about the Skookum Author: wpamtk Why don't the "Skookum's" Baldwin builders plates show a date? I'm guessing they're replicas, but still...

The engine has Baldwin builders plates that show the construction number, but no date. I thought it was rather odd. Date: 09/25/20 14:13 Re: Question about the Skookum Author: wabash2800 Agreed. It was meant in humor, that is why I put the <G> after it, that means "grin" in computer lingo.
I would think that Martin ("LoggerHogger") would answer you question. Victor A. Baird http://www.erstwhilepublications.com Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/25/20 15:53 by wabash2800.
