Jonathan:
That's unfortunate news regarding the current condition of the 4876. The same sad state of affairs has befallen the 4879. Regrettably, it may have already reached the point at which restoration is no longer an option. As I mentioned above, the URHS has designated the locomotive for disposition but there doesn't appear to be much interest in it due to its extensive deterioration.
I'll post more photos. I have to get more of my slides scanned into the computer.
