I'll ask in this forum because the BAR was the closet and the only one to interchange with them.
I could have sworn in some railroad forum that there were recent pictures of the Baldwin Switcher located up at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone. Does anyone have a link to a modern picture?
I ask because I was chatting with Wayne Duplisea, a former BAR engineer, and long story short, might this Loring Engine make a good unit for the Downeast Heritage railroad? If it runs, it's small, probably in good shape, and seeming easy to ship....plus its chuck full of Maine history...I won't get into the lack of parts, but it seems like a good fit.
And feel free to tell me it left the property long ago never to be seen again. Seems my forum posts end that way.
If the moderators think this should be elsewhere, I'm sorry for mis-posting it. I was thinking the MMA/BAR fans would be the best bet for information.
