Beautiful photo Kevin, and nice history and updated information about this "Engine House Queen"! To add to your pointing out the running gear missing a few parts, that front cylinder looks like it's ready to fall off too! I see on the running gear it appears that upward sloped rod is sitting on that crank pin piece! There does seem to be a lot to fix, and I hope they can restore this old "Queen", it would be nice to see her run again!

Great, great photo, Kevin. We're all obviously attracted to all things "train", but I think the box of stuff in the foreground just makes this shot.

Thanks for posting this. I have wanted to see a shot of this one for years. I had heard it was a 2-8-2. In any case it's the prettiest one of the bunch. The 93 in particular is weird, with some features that look modern and others, like the valve gear & cylinders, that look like they are from a much earlier date. I hope this one gets a restoration.

Kevin, you underrate this one, I like the "grayness" for lack of a better term, the interplay of grays but somehow not in a B/W way.
