<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">The engineering and design for that locomotive project is perhaps larger than the metalwork. I would have thought they would have started engineering and design already, since they claimed to have some funding in place. If they had started that work, they might have something to show us by now. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">But just on the very surface, they did offer some engineering perspective when they compared steam to diesel in their claim that steam will out accelerate diesel. If that misperception is any indication of their expertise, I would say they are not up to the task.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">But the big question is what happens to the locomotive when it does not leave Topeka? If the city, county, and Great Overland Station were convinced that the engine is a dangerous eyesore, what are they going to do when the deal to get rid of it falls through? </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;">I wonder if GOS stipulated a deadline to move the engine.</span></p>
