Its a busy day on the L&S and all of the more modern engines are tied up with revenue business. Management needs to get these old (perhaps scrap) cars out of yard to make more room, so they call up an old veteran. This Hornby MO locomotive and tender date from 1930, the first year the MO line was offered. It never had a front or rear truck or drive rods, this was the bottom of the Hornby line, designed to allow sales in the terrible Depression environment.
Today "steamin Sam" is taking this old gal up the line to clear out the yard. Will she come back, well who knows if she will make it in the first place. She leaks everywhere, can't hardly hold stream pressure, and is limited to 35 mph or the drive rods come off...but she is a brave old gal and willing to work. Sam, one of the most senior engineers on the property is the one who knows how to get the best out of her

Best wishes everyone...yes I know I am a day late but i wanted to post just to keep the thread going. OBTW thanks @bobfett for your post yesterday.
