I just saw that 76 is going to a station museum in Md.

 

The museum in Oakland, MD. that has restored the old B&O station and is trying to obtain display pieces.

www.oaklandbandomuseum.org (and facebook)
This museum is 1 of 3 that have developed in Oakland that tell the history of Oakland and Garrett County,MD. Each museum has a different theme and are in close proximity to each other.

IMO, the 2-8-0 being obtained would be best cosmetically redone as Preston RR #18-19, which ran at Crellin,MD., less than 3 miles away.

During the early to mid-1990s, I made several trips to the Gettysburg RR and saw #76 there.
