Cool. Makes me wonder if the Hudson Steam project is still going to be motivated by this?
What "Hudson Steam project"?

Exactly what it sounds like. Right around the same time frame the Tornado was being built(1994-2008) a group was formed with the idea of making a new Hudson Steam Locomotive. I can't remember if the group has gone through different names or titles, but do remember seeing a message board or forum where they had been discussing things. I do know that at some point in time after the Tornado was built, that someone had suggested that perhaps the builders could do a Hudson if they were given all the specs and such as well as the money to build it. Most of everything I have heard about the Hudson group seems to be stuck with planning and no real action(not sure if it is because of the money needed to be raised, or other things).
