Is 7470 a 2-6-2 or an 0-6-0? Also, does this RR haul freight?

[GP9railfan]

@indie1361 She's an 0-6-0. She does look alot like a 4-6-2 in some of the shots though. Conway Scenic has been known haul freight every once & awhile. A few years back they hauled a couple power plant generators for the local power plant. There's videos of that here on youtube. Otherwise, they only do the "photo freight" runs for the railfans every year.

you this song has NOTHING to do with Conway Scenic...right?

[GP9railfan]

@DRGWSD40T Yes, I know. Thanks. :) I just used it in the video because it's a great song, & seemed to fit the video really good. It's a song about Donner pass out here in Northern California.

Nice! I am glad to see that I am not the only person that uses this song in my videos.

does #501 run?

[GP9railfan]

@GP9railfan Yep. A so called "master mechanic" that used to work on 501 got his fingers into things that shouldn't have been messed with, & she'll probably never run again. Unfortunately, the 470 club put too much faith in that individual. Now she's just a big paperweight. Gonna cost over $500K just to get her to basic running condition if they do. Sad indeed.

[GRS504videos]

@GP9railfan 501 is owned by the 470 club, CSRX has nothing to do with 501, sadly.

I think Conway Scenic should purchase some Ohio Central steam, considering that their steam program is gone...
