@MarkConductor775 Ed Yungling is one of my Uncles on my mom's side of the family. I have driven this locomotive several times at SVLS...as early as 1977/1978 when I was in Jr High. Ed is a wonderful guy...if there are two people I visit during a trip to Sacramento it's Uncle Ed and his Mom (my Grandma) His workshop is incredible. I most recently spent time with Ed at his home in July 2010.

That looks like fun. I wonder if there are any live steamers organizations in Virginia?

Cool, how is the locomotive controlled from the tender? Lever-linkages or electronically?

The throttle and reverser are cables, the whistle is a string, the injector/water pump is electric
