Mark, thanks so much for these great pictures.  I saw Linn's post on the Narrow Gauge Forum, but your photos really add to the occasion.  I am currently building a livesteam model of the RGS#20 and am fascinated by the progress of her restoration at Strasburg.  Please continue to post info!!!  stevehughes@centurytel.net
