Glad you liked the photos. #7 was built in 1897 and completed her first test runs last Friday. A few issues popped up, but nothing that can't be repaired. That photo was taken after the headlamp was lit for the first time and I slid it into the headlight housing. The smoke is from the burning kerosene.
The second photo is of our 1932 "frankenstein" 4-4-0 (built out of an 1870's Manchester 0-4-0 with some pieces from two other locomotives), while we were in our yard area to load up on coal.
