You see there is only one problem with all the ideas of restoring steam I've seen on this forum: it isn't just a matter of money but a matter of finding parts, finding a shop capable of rebuilding a locomotive, you have to find a way to get it to a shop (most Class 1's won't move anything without roller bearings), you have to find someplace to run it long enough to make this restoration worthwhile, and that is beside the simple logistics of rebuilding a steam locomotive to working condition. There have been situations in which restorations of locomotives have become political and torn groups apart no matter how dedicated. <br />ConnottonValley2652
