When Doyle McCormick imported former D&H Alco PA #18 from Mexico to become his Life sized scale model of NKP 190, he also imported unit 16 which was in rougher shape than 18 and the unit is owned by the Smithonian. I know the unit is currently in Oregon and will be cosmetically restored to its original Santa Fe colours. Does anyone know if any work has been done on it other than getting it on its trucks?

That's as far as its gotten. I think its still on a fairly remote siding on the Albany & Eastern near Lebanon, east of Albany. Its visible there on Google Maps if you do some exploring.
She's at 44 degrees 33' 11.40" north X 122 degrees 55' 52.87" west in Google earth. Clear shot with good shadow.
