When a live steam locomotive breaks down, they just never put them in museums or scrap them. They just keep rebuilding them. I'm very proud of that! :)
Oh, I know it's not an RMI, but as RMI is based out of Fresno, I was wondering if they also performed rebuilds on other similarly-scaled live steamers (I'm building one of the original WATO-castings 2-4-2's right now, and we're trying to figure out who manufactured the boiler; other than the certification stamp, there is no identification).

Her boiler gave up in early 2007, and had to go to Fresno to be rebuilt.

It's not RMI, this is an old Ottaway 4-4-0, it was sent to a man in Fresno for a rebuild
