Darn, I was hoping for photos! :-)

Always like to see other people's engines.

Here are 2 photos I received when I expressed interest in the loco.

Bernie,

Will you be bringing the locomotive to PVLS at any time?

Hi Arthur
I was up last August with a 3/4". This year I was thinking on bringing 1 1/2" scale stuff to run. I should be up for the august meet this year. If I have room, I consider it. Do you know this engine. It originally belonged to David Knowles who recently passed away.

No not that one. The one I had was the original one from Nelson Gray. I couldn't afford it at the time. I alway wanted a camel back.

Hey, that's me ;-)
I ran that locomotive for several years before switching to 1.5" narrow gauge. I sold it (14??) years ago to a gentleman in California (Dave Artinian??). Last I heard, he had it repaired after FedEx speared the shipping crate with a forklift.
