2156 and 2050 restoration

[NW Mailing List]

Who paints the rods? Just about every locomotive on display that's not in operation. Every locomotive 
at VMT has painted rods including the 611 only exception would be 1218 which they clear coated
and is now just rust for the most part. I saw 2156 last year looked OK by me.

       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!
