Probably someone who was in the same "If it doesn't move, PAINT IT"  
military that I was! (:-)

   Sometimes I think its not so good  to put everything in the same game.
St Louis has been a good caretaker of the 2156  probably a lot better
than VMT would have done. Of course it would be  nice two see all three
together. But if the ship sinks you lose it  all

As a Virginia transplant to Illinois and N&W Historical  Society member, I 
want to let you know I would hate for the Illinois  Railway Museum to lose 
the 2050 and for the National Transportation Museum  in St Louis to lose the 
2156.  There are N&W fans worldwide and  we like having a small piece of its 
history in easy driving  distance.  That said, I do understand the desire 
to bring the girls  home to Roanoke.  And seeing them under steam would be  
glorious...since I have missed everything since then, steam  wise.
Something neat happened at IRM--I was videotaping a kid about 5  years old 
running around being a nuisance...(to everyone but me)...he  climbed on the 
nose of 2050 and was yanking the bell cord...I muttered to  myself, That's 
N&W brass, boy, and you just go to town and let me  record.  His parents have 
no idea that they were the ones being a  nuisance...they took him off the 
locomotive!
