Use the SEARCH feature, click on ADVANCED SEARCH, and type in "Chuck Sartor". when you locate his name, click on that, and it should take you to his "Profile" which has his eMail address.
Thank you, I have sent a e mail to him.
Keep us in the loop as to how this turns out; I for one would very much like to see an old "Labaugh" locomotive brought back to life...

I don't know Chuck. I am sure he is competent.
If this is nothing more than a cleanup and re-lube it should go smoothly. But once in a while these old models need re-quartering, side rod re-fitting, crankpin cap adjustment, crosshead alignment, maybe piston rod adjustment, and in rare cases crankpin plugging and re-drilling. Pre-war Berks have eaten axle gears, and as of right now I am not sure NWSL is supplying replacement gearboxes.
But most run fine after cleanup and re-lube. It was a fairly good design, all things considered.
Google O nly 3 rail to find Chuck Sartor,
He is highly reconmended.
