Repost from RYPN
"Just talked to the gentlemen that is handling the sale of the loco. Loco is in central Florida. I didn't think to ask if it was in an RV park or not. But he is handling the sale and the property was going to be developed and turned into some attraction. Bank foreclosed, property sold to someone else. Now, the someone else wants it gone. So the story line got cut. He is not very knowledgeable about steam locos.
While I was talking to him, he was looking for identification marks. There are no builders plates. Has a Sharon coupler on the front. Frame cross member sounds like it has a casting number, starts with S. ALCO product?
He also has an ATSF tender that he has not listed yet. Griffin wheels, rusted out coal bunker.
He is going to send pictures. Will post some if there is interest and he is OK with it.
