is that the legit engine or a replica?

[CabinCar]

Leviathan 63 is a replica built over a ten year period by David H. Kloke, owner of Kloke Locomotive Works, LLC.

Did they take her out on the main for a drive, or did they just turn her on the table all day?

As far as I know she stayed right there on the Trainfest grounds, but I was only there for the first day.

[Conrail6370]

Is the fest over now??

[CabinCar]

Yes, today was the last day.

Now all we need to do is build a replica of a Hudson;

or a Big Boy;

OR BOTH! Yeah, that would be flippin' AWESOME!

This steel beauty is more than proof that people still care about steam locomotives (I sure as heck do).

By the way; Kloke Locomotive Works is building another 4-4-0. Check it out at there website (youtube won't let me post links so you'll have to find it on your own; sorry).

LONG LIVE STEAM!

This is the type of engine that built America.

[Hendo56]

She is oil firing.

[GreatWestern175]

This is a very impressive looking engine! The typical look of an American 4-4-0, very decorative and very well presented as new. Thanks for sharing this fine detail.

Simply gorgeous.

[Chris9017]

The one thing different about her from her old replica sister, is that Jupiter is wood firing, and Leviathan seems to be an oil firing.

[Chris9017]

Yep, and another wonderful part of our world which we must protect.
