<p>I'm still writing the history of my Railroad but basically the railroad lies on a mountain and travels in a loop delivering supplies/Passengers between the two points. while my lines history is not complete the history of my loco's is complete (yes all my trains have back stories.)</p><p> </p><p>No.464 </p><ul><li>- Saved from scrap and restored to original condition including paint scheme. Previously served on the Central Vermont Railroad. </li></ul><p> </p><p>No.5972 "Hogwarts Express"</p><ul><li>- Castle Class Locomotive painted to resemble the Hogwarts Express. Was bought to run special "tourist" trains on the mountain, but due to the tight curves of the railway this engine remains on display by the front station.</li></ul><p> </p><p>No.605</p><ul><li>- Purchased from a scrap yard to replace No.105. This engine had a very short operating life pulling a total of zero trains. Upon arrival the engine would not heat up properly, after many attempts the loco was sent back to the scrap yard a week after it's arrival.</li></ul><p> </p><p>No.105 "Stanley"</p><ul><li>- A refurbished 4-4-0 Central Pacific locomotive that was converted into a 0-4-0. This engine was one of the first engines on the line. It was known for riding roughly on the rails. When a second Locomotive arrived this engine was pulled from service and set on the side of the tracks as a display. There were some attempts to correct the "rough riding problem" but all attempts failed. Due to some financial problems Stanley was sold off to the scrap yard were it sits next to No.605. Both engines are kept in running order in case a spare part is needed.</li></ul><p> Maybe I'll post a pic later.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
