<p>Unfortunately, the #1015 is in very poor condition, I am sad to report, the wooden cab has all but rotted away, and there is quite a bit of weathering. As for the boiler, only professional tests will tell the true condition. She was pulled from service right after World War 2, and she was actually the FIRST steam locomotive acquired by the Museum of Transport. BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS!!! I am VERY happy to report that a thorough cosmetic restoration will soon begin for the #1015, you can donate to the project at http://transportmuseumassociation.org/collection/Chicago_NW_1015.htm I have seen her personally, and despite her cab, she is structurally sound. With a little bit of luck, a lot of care, and money, She could run again!!! Although, I doubt the museum will ever fund it. Oh well, maybe one day!</p>
