MTF members, I spent 6 years volunteering to rehab this engine, every Saturday, except the ones I worked or was on vacation. I also donated about $12,000 to the cause.

You're gonna love this. It's the real thing and I'm proud to have been apart of it.
PS. Check out my new sig. Gotta figure out a couple of things now to make it REALLY neat.

She is a real beauty! It must have been some opportunity to be able to work on her... I can not even remember the last time I saw a steam engine in person :(

Not really much of a museum. It is basically one HUGE pole barn with concrete floors and looks likea rail shop. Most of their funds went to the refurbishing of the Berkshire. Last time I was there, the engine, of course was done, I sat around and drank coffee for 6 hours. I don't know if they have started therehabbing of any of the cars yet.
Does anyone have any money laying around? I know where we can buy one fine depot. There are also many old freight houses here that could use a loving touch. I've got to get out and take some pics. This area is full of rail houses, sheds and buildings. some of you may want to model them.
