hey okrasaghis- You're correct, the G&D had three 2-6-6-2 and a 0-6-6-0 (converted from a 2-6-6-2). That's what I meant to write but it was in the wee hours when I posted it. Considering the nature of this post and the need to be as accurate as possible when discussing anything of John Allens G&D that may have survived (the original topic) I apologize if I made an unclear statement.. Like most everyone has expressed, either this 'one-poster' was just fishing for a sucker, or realized he got suckered by the seller. We'd all be thrilled to learn that something as historically significant as this mystery engine had survived the fire. I do agree if something smells like a rat, it's probably a rat. I bet that John Allen, (who, according to Linn Wescott, was quite the practical joker), wherever he may be, is laughing his tail off at all the fuss his life long fans still make over him and his railroad, and all the admiration we hold for him because he inspired so many.
