These are some I want to see restored to operating conditions I would've added more
;);)
 
EBT 16 & 18. They haven't ran since the early '50s. Another I thought about would be a Pennsy I1sa, the only problem since it's so heavy, nowhere really to run it. Maybe I'll settle for the "R" class Consolidated at the state museum at Strasburg.

I can't find where , but I had read about the same proposal about the S1. Would really like to know where they were planning running it thought . That would be great, ( as to a T1 ) but with the new regulations , they'll need to be made to modern standers . ( an always changing standard ) After watching what happen to 1361, lost parts, stolen money, just to name a few, after the engine actually did run .

Here hoping I live that long

UP 9000 class 4-12-2 with the Gresley valve gear on the pilot deck.

Wasn't engine 9000 on display in the Pomona Los Angeles County Fair grounds in California at one time?

"Which steam locomotives would you like to see restored to operating condition?"

All of them, of course!

There's a two tone grey challenger in the Midwest, it's got the ears and everything. That'd be awesome to see.

also, #814, the FEF-1 that's located at the Rock island railroad museum.
