@Andrew-Porter posted:I was alerted to an auction for the loco on Stout's Auctions, happening in a few days. There are already several bids—including mine! The question is, how much do we (or I) want that engine?
Okay, it was a choice: pay off the National Debt, or buy the locomotive. So I did the patriotic thing: I bought the loco. For waaaay to much, but hey, no wife, no kids. So my quest for this engine is very happily (until I get the credit card bill) concluded!
