That's a good start, you have to learn to walk before you can run.

How about this for the ready track at Steamtown 2020 for three operational steam locomotives? Ask for CPR 2816 back, finish B&M 3713, and then finish CNR 47 as CNJ 230.

 

Very fine,I should come back to Steamtown then...

Unfortuantely three new operational locos by 2020 is a steep order for an organization like Steamtown.

There is talk of Illinois Central #790 possibly being considered for restoration, in addition to that, I'd also like to see that Jubillee (4-4-4) with at least some paint and a roof!

Thanks for the list! Wouldn't it be something if it really turned out that we had all three in 2020?
