Hi,
Yes, opinions are like…… everyone has one.
That said, all that can be done now is to salvage what’s left of this agreement and see if it can be re-railed before the terms expire.
Providing the errors can be righted, and modifications made within reason I don’t see why 39 can’t run at the SRC.
That said. I’am curious to know what happens I’d the terms are not fulfilled?
When the agreement deadline passes, does the SRC Ship 39 home in pieces? Do they use the available funds raised for finishing the firebox/boiler to a point just shy of starting the clock for the 1472?
Does 39 come home at all or does SRC take ownership?
What happens? Anyone?
Does anyone here actually read these posts or understand what is really going on?????
#39 IS NOT in Strasburg. Only the boiler is there. Everything else is still in safe storage on Long Island, possibly except for it’s whistle. There is an agreement in place between SRR and RMLI. If/when RMLI fulfills it’s share, all monies and all of #39 goes down to SRR.
IT’STHAT SIMPLE AND THAT EASY.
#35 is still up at the Oyster Bay RR Museum waiting for the next contract to be approved by the Town. They have laid out 2 tracks from the turntable and have move both GE 25 tonners and N-52 hack #12 onto them. They are prepping the property to begin laying out track #3 which is being called the #35 track as this is where #35 will be reassembled.
As for the Museum itself, they have completed the installation of 2 bathrooms and additional electrical equipment installation and are just waiting for the Certificate of Occupancy open up for the season.
As the season moves on, there will be more equipment being moved within OBRM rail yard. Hopefully, during the winter volunteer season, they will be able to install the “freight track” parallel with Duke Supply, as track #7 or 8.
I do hope that this is helpful.
