They need to get that M-1 running

@tropicalfishswim 7688 def. 520 if some equipment like NKP 757 and some amtrak cars and locomotives were sold at auction, please donate the tahoe to nevada state and send the gg1s to st. louis

@tropicalfishswim i agree with you the h-10 is a fine puller

WE NEED TO RESTORE SOME PRR STEAM DAMNIT!

[tropicalfishswim]

They do have a fine collection of engines, but not a great outlet to run them. If one of their engines was restored, it would have to be leased by Strasburg to be able to run. This, to me gives you a choice of two engines in their collection; the H-10 2-8-0 7688, or the G-5 5741. All others would be too heavy, too weak, to imtegrated in the displays, or in the unique case of 7002 surprisingly unpopular with the crews.

i say they get the 1361 put back together and 460 and have some steam excresions

[Bassfanatic94]

The Railroad Museum won't have any of their steam engines restored because according to them they believe "why would we compromise something that is already intact and historical?" I agree and disagree on that comment. I think the K4 should be restored. The K4 would be a real load, but it should handle it well. The only issue with it is its boiler. Remember just because the Railroad Museum is across the street doesn't mean they are related You have to lease their locomotives under a contract.

isnt the one loco operable?

[nclemens]

Just be happy we still have a K4 and M1. Can't be said for T1, S1, S2, and J1.

All of these locomotives should be repaired for steaming. The K4s, at least.
