Heck, if UP is on board IRM would be a better place than anywhere else, once they have their 130' turntable installed and roundhouse built. They could house just about anything there as long as the curves leading up to it aren't too tight. Of course, that'll be years from now, and the odds of such an occurance are low. But hey, worth dreaming about, don't ya think? And while we're busy foaming, why stop with 4-8-4's? Lets invite everything under the sun. Put in a 270 degree (3/4 of a circle) roundhouse around that turntable. That should hold everything. Okay back to reality: Remember, we are all just a bunch of rail-enthusiasts with (as far as I know) no signifigant influence . The odds of one of us influencing the people that need convincing are nil. And don't forget the expenses to transport all these steamers to the meeting place. (Think tens of millions in insurance alone.) With the RR's becoming more and more restricting on steam I think this decade will be the last for big steam excursions as we know them.   It's fun to dream, but don't forget reality.
