Thanks for sharing this nice recreation. Mr. Kloke did a great job making working replicas of period railroad equipment. Interesting facts from when I saw this locomotive and Lincoln Funeral Car several years ago, the handles on the replica Lincoln coffin inside the replica Lincoln Funeral Car were cast from the original Lincoln coffin handle dies. Also, when Mr. Kloke was building the replica Lincoln Funeral Car, Mr. Kloke met with the great (or great-great) grandson of the man who made the original Lincoln Funeral Car to obtain details to build the replica Lincoln Funeral Car.
