Here is so rare video of the 4-4-0 LEVIATHAN at the Illinois Railway Museum, showing the cab and firebox. Does anyone know where this engine will run next?

That above website is primarily for the Leviathan Locomotive. When you click on to projects, their is a brief description and photos of the next project, abuilding,is the YORK 17, it is another 4-4-0 American style locomotive.
The gentleman behind these two locomotives is Mr. David H. Kloke. The website is apparently short on information, has some current photos of what is going on with Mr. Kloke's current projects. There is also the request for donations.
It would be interesting if any Poster's have any more current information or photos, I am sure they would be a welcome addition here.
Here is a little more information on Mr. Kloke's projects: 2015 Lincoln funeral train.
