Bill,
I should have followed up. After Steve couldn't make it I decided to wait to see some good you tube video's and get some other chores completed.
Thx Pop's for sharing.

Interesting thread. Guess it's repairable
A train engine derailed up the road from me. This is whats left.

These are pics of the caboose we rented for the weekend and the geared logging steam locomotive that hauled us out to the middle of nowhere and left us on a siding for 3 days. 30th anniversary trip. Other than the steam excursion that passed occasionally, no contact with the outside world for 3 days.

What an awesome thread. I also love steam trains
and cars. Got to crawl all over a Stanly Steamer in
a museum in 2000. They are hugeish as hell. Ya
almost need a ladder to get in the seat. So whats the
plan for the 4014? Is it still under restoration? Up and
running? IDK. Anybody? There is a lot of info in this
thread and I will prolly spend a few hours watching all
the vids. mostly the ones that come up after the ones
ya all post. Questions like when did Big Boy last move
under it's own power? Does it now? Or can it? I plan
to do the Alaska train trip in the next couple of years.
I need to pick ND Bills brain some abut it as I think
he has been there and done that. What say you Bill?

If you're into trains and nearby, you've got to stop in.
