Whats #17 doing with that tender?

[wippydobo321]

to andoprime91 so what will happen to #45 and what are the plans for #5

[Chris9017]

That is not the best sounding whistle. The best whistle suited for 17 would be a Nathan 6-chime, or a logging Crosby 3-chime.

[TVRM610]

I'm partitial to a 5 chime step top, like the one on S.R. #4501.

tehy used to operate her on the Wilmington & western RR didn't they?

[nhiwwrr]

no, not the same loco.

[Strasburg1991]

ok thanks

[AndoPrime91]

I volunteer at this railroad (in fact I was the brakeman on this perticular train on the following day), and we have to put a tender on the 17 when we take it to Tacoma because 17 just doesn't have the water capacity to make it on her own.

A 2-8-2T with a tender? Huh?

[traindude666]

it is the tender from 2-8-2 #5 which is not running currently
