Jack, its quite surprising to me as a railroad man that you don't remember that it is a Raymond Loewy exhibit and that he was the one who designed the streamlining on the PRR T1. So there's your answer, not matter where the stinkin' tender is!
Great photos but I didn't see any photos of the O gauge layout inside the museum building. Is it still there?

Bill: Yes it is and if you follow Scott Smith his Weekend Photo Fun thread you will see photos of that layout that he posts. There is one area where he changes the theme based on the holidays and the kids area of the layout. Scott does a great job with that layout not sure it would be there in as good a shape as it is without him.

Rick,
Thanks as that's good news that it is still there and thriving thanks to Scott.

@NS6770Fan, I hate to ask but could you share some of the best rail fan locations you found? Thanks
I see that the old Chesapeake Western loco is now in its original paint. Not sure when that happened, but it is definitely an improvement. Also it is good to see the Wabash loco has been restored.
I have NO knowledge why the tender is missing, but I will make a guess. The museum had a display case of a certain size. They found out that the loco and tender together were too big to fit, so they left the tender off.
The CW Baldwin engine was one of those "lost" engines of Roanoke. It was repainted right after they pulled it out of the weeds behind the old flour mill. It looks real nice.
