Hi Pat , were fine here. Work keeps me busy. Don and I were planning on an appearance on Sat. Will have some stuff for the swap table. Hope to see you there. I think Chuck A. May have owned that one inch 4-4-0 for a short time

Hello Glenn-
I did a search for the seller and found his obituary from 2016. I do remember him mentioning another live steamer in Hawaii but we are too late to get that info.

I am curious. Do you recall any details of your purchase - the approx year, location, etc. From time to time, I keep hearing rumors someone has a private live steam RR in Hawaii, but have never been able to track it down.
Thanks
Glenn
