In this case, it was created by a known trustworthy individual with a track record of working on steam locomotives successfully. If the folks at TVRM or Strasburg or Black Hill Central had done this; would you still be making that statement about donating? In the end it all comes down to doing your research on the organization and the people who have set up the campaign.
EXACTLY!!!!! That was just another case of a "toy train guy" posting to a thread subject on the Real Trains Forum, when he knows NOTHING about the subject nor the people involved.
My post was not on the engine itself but on the way they had to raise money. Using go-fund me pages are tricky and is rife with fraud.
Besides Hot you know nothing about what I know or don't know. Sometimes it is best to MYOB
