<p>       It would be nice, but seriously, any steam-operating society will almost always have trouble running just one. Right now I would think the museum has it's hands full with the 611. Operating any steam locomotive is a HUGE financial undertaking. I'm surprised the museum could afford to take both out for as long as they did.  The 1218 was cosmetically restored after the program fell out from under here during her rebuild. Depending on how thorough the cosmetic restoration was, the locomotive may or may not be missing internal parts, i.e. flues, valves, compressors. It would be nice, but is unlikely to happen in the next few years.</p>
