Don't forget to donate! The more donations, the faster it all can get done.

Frisco 1630 has a VERY good chance to be running this year. She should be running by July 4th weekend at the latest. The #5 driving weels are being re-tired and the bearings replaced. Those are the only major projects and are probaly getting sent out to the Tennessee Valley RR. A few of the grates are being replaced and she might get a new paint job. So 1630 has a very high chance of running this year.

Last I heard from IRM was that they have found more problems with 1630 and it will most likely not run this year, but probably by 2009 it should.
