Saw on another site it has been withdrawn from the auction. Could they have made a deal to keep it there? Hope so

Last time I was there the guys at the shop told me it wouldn`t need a ton of work to get going again but weren`t going to touch it because they didn`t own it.This seems like a sound idea. If there is not much work to do perhaps we'll see it run this year.

It just looks like it belongs better with the consist rather than the short 7751. I noticed that you all added train brakes to #45 - pretty cool. I was there over the weekend and my daughter was amazed at how loud the bell is - we could hear it all the way over at the play ground!scottso699 wrote:Yikes...
