I'd hate to say it, but I don't see the museum being ready to really start working on #11 till 2015 at the earliest. I'd rather see the money be used for extending the railroad, either main lines, or yard tracks, and maintain what we currently have track wise and locomotive wise, including the #10, and soon to be #9, build the bathrooms, etc. To build such an engine will cost, I'm going to guess $500,000. Shouldn't that kind of money be used to make the museum better? Granted a new steam engine, especially a 2-4-4 would be amazing, but shouldn't we focus on our current goals?
Although, the rate that things have been going on working on #11 now in my mind is great, because then when the railroad is ready, we will be that much further ahead.
