Unfortunately Mountaineer was out by the time I got there. The railway I reside at has - a 1912 Alco 2-4-4-2 Mallet which is currently in the same state as Mountaineer. She can't pull as much as our larger engines, but sounds awesum "rocketing" along at 40kph. Great to hear Mountaineer powering it out though.
It cannot be sold as it is on indeffinate loan to the railway (or was donated). Who knows how long it'll be before a start is made on the restoration :( .
