Has anything been sold?
Are any out of service engines for sale?
No locomotives are for sale at this point. In addition, no thoughts of donations contrary to many rumours originating in the NJ/NY railfan circuit.
Thanks,

Well, the 0-6-0 in Cooperstown is for sale. Given it hasn't steamed in what... 30 years or more? I'm not sure it counts as a "locomotive" exactly, it was never on the NYS&W roster anyhow.
$45,000 or so and it can be yours. Just by comparison the NYC 0-6-0 in Utica sold for a tad over $10,000 when the NRHS up there bought it. I believe DF Barnhardt has another seller offering a second ex-US Army 0-6-0, though, so you could have bookends if you wanted.
