No worries. Wish the scenario was different. Would be great to see her finished up.

I will. I'll enjoy it with railroaders while "Parking Lot Pete" does what he does best. I am not now, nor will I be dumping on you. Sorry that there are fickle sensibilities involved.

Cosmo, Trying to talk with you about any railroad, property, or decision is like trying to get a developmentally challenged wheelchair bound child to get up and walk of their own accord. Your reasoning is about as useful as a football Bat. Jumping in on someones side does not mean that the person or...

Excuses are like butt holes. Everyone has one and they all stink. Like I said. Keep blowing smoke.....I'm running trains doing what "can't be done".

Sometimes reading all the back pedals makes me laugh, sometimes it makes me cry. I've got more than a mile of train to inspect. Later.

No Seriously.....EPA Approved Coal? Where do you guys come up with some of this stuff?! As much as I'm loving this conversation, I've not got much time for arguing with people who don't want to listen. I have trains to run......so argue about it all you want. While you're coming up with fabricated r...

EPA approved coal.....

Can I find that next to the EPA approved asbestos?

Yawn.....same old story, same old line........

Before you preach about what can or can not be done. Look at a property like Passumpsic. They don't even get paid for rides.....and we have made the equipment work. For every reason you give me as to why you "can't".....I can cite 4 or 5 reasons why you can. It all comes down to priorities...

Ouch..... Quite right though....NO ONE knows what the possibilities for that locomotive are or could be. And Mr Scopanator, I'll pony up the cash for that little chooch when you give me a 20 year lease. Before talking like you know what your talking about.....do some resurch. Remember, I've done it ...

Fair enough. Where there's a will there's a way. Projects like that are done by people who aren't even giving "rides by donation". Take a look at the Flagg Coal guys. If I were you guys (and I'm not) I would do a little discovery on it before you write it (or the possibility of it running)...

Changing the subject a bit, are the trucks and wheels on the flying yankee and if so has it ever moved? No. There have been shop trucks under it since 2003(?) and it has not been put back onto the orriginal articulated truck sets. Last I heard, the sets were almost done and ready to be put back in,...

So then we are back to my initial points. We need a new group with credibility, money (for that lawyer) and experience.

Who's ready to write up the paperwork? Anyone?

I don't know, Steamer. You post a doomsday scenario with everything that is said. Suffice to say, if we could get the National Register to take an interest, I don't see a real problem in any of the scenarios that you have presented. Once the federal government is interested, Heavens Gates open. As ...

I think that that's a little too "giving up" at this point, Steamer. There's a big difference between giving up, and accepting the reality of the thing....which is something I did back in 2004. Saw the writing on the wall back then....but no one wanted to listen, and I'm not going to say ...
