I have been following the progress of #3 when they first announced it was getting an overhaul to operating condition. Railtown 1867 will steam her up and run her on the 4th of July* or sometime there about.

Also a creator has made a model of a 4-6-0, wether or not he will release it I will not mention his name for fear of gimmepigs.

*My source for this information came from a friend who works at a high level in at the California State RR Museum which owns/runs Railtown 1867.

No wonder the State of California is flat broke.

At least it's getting spent on something useful instead of trees or something... :hehe:

 

[SuperFudd]

Agreed.

The California State RR Museum gets its money entirely from donors and the members. Oh and the visitors who pay to ride the train and for admission into the museum. Surely you know that.

Besides the state is to busy trying to decide whether or not to keep education going for my friends and I. We almost didn't have our agriculture program at my high school next year because they all but 1 recived termination notices for the end of the school year.

Surely you know that.

Surely you are wrong.

Oh man, can't wait! I'm definitely setting $30 bucks aside for this, nothing is as epic a win as riding the rails behind a legend like No. 3. :udrool:

Wasn't Sierra #3 the steamer that appeared in back to the future 3?

I have to say, that is one hell of history back there.
