As few as possible. <br /> <br />The Muddy Creek Northern needs: <br /> <br />1Consolidation for local road service <br />1 Class A Climax for switching log cars up at the camps <br />1 Shay to haul logs down to the mill <br />1 switcher serving the yard & nearby paper mill <br />1 switcher at the furnace. <br />Also: <br />1 doodlebug or rail motor car for passenger service and to follow the old wood-burners during the peak fire season months when use of wood or coal burners are restricted by the State. <br /> <br />The LPBs want all new oil burners and additional switchers for the sawmill and mine but they can hold their breath. The damn NY Central wants us to provide a dedicated loco for fire train service around their Big Shot Director's private forest preserve but he can go scratch, too. You know how much it costs to keep just these few going? Sheesh! <br /> <br />Wayne
