yeah, The EBT 15 is not going anywhere.sorry i have a habit capitizing and it would be great to see rio grande sourthern 20 d&rgw 346 and EBT 15 to be at the durango and silverton railfest.
the east broad top should put the 12,14, and 17 back to steam.
yeah, Go ahead, you spend the money to bring them back, it won't cost more than 500,000 an engine. 12+14+16+17+18=2.5Million USD. you happen to have that much?the east broad top should put the 12,14, and 17 back to steam.
the easty restored the 15 to steam in 2005. according to trains magizine the railroad would restore the 14 and reopen the line to mount union.
see, your missing something that a true old easty fan would know. They actually made a deal with the FRA to keep 14 operating after those idiots at the Gettysburg railroad blew up their steamer:nthe easty restored the 15 to steam in 2005. according to trains magizine the railroad would restore the 14 and reopen the line to mount union.
no one was killed thankfully). They could operate a technically uninspected locomotive until they could do a complete tear down of 15.yes i know steam operations and steam maintenance while riding at strasburg.
when i last vist the EBT website the 14 pulled the trains while the 15 was being restored to steam. now with 15 pulling the trains 14 is be restored to steam.see, your missing something that a true old easty fan would know.

Much agreed. Any railroad must be willing to make a massive investment if they want to restore a steam locomotive. When the Valley bought 3025 they knew what they were getting themselves into and already and must have had much of the funds available to restore the locomotive. You can't just pay as you go. There is to much that needs to be made new, fixed, changed, swapped out or flat out made up from imagination of several people in some instances for that.. Then of course you will still have to pay the wages of the shop crew, and if you are lucky enough you will have a large group of volunteers willing to give there time just to be able to help with something as great as this is.
