There are several competent and knowledgeable steam loco experts in the business. Here are a few...

Gary Bensman and Diversified Rail Services. Gary is the lead contractor on the WM 1309 rebuild. He has worked on dozens of steam locos around the country. He has also done a lot of work on the 765 and is one of her regular engineers.
Scott Lindsay and Steam Operations. Scott is with the 611 crew. He served with Ross Rowland on the 614 crew back in the day.
Robert Franzen and Steam Services of America. Robert was CMO at the Grand Canyon Railroad back when they ran steam. Robert has also worked on many steam locomotives around the country. I think he works on the 261 crew, but I'm not 100% sure of that.

There are several others, including the staff at the Strasburg Railway.
