Unless we are told otherwise, we assume the owner wishes to remain anonymous. We also do not know what work ML&M intends to do on the locomotive.

That said, this locomotive was listed For Sale on "Discover Live Steam" last year:

The WW&F intends to deliver the "Czech Czooch" to ML&M by RPO... so the Czech is in the mail.

Word has it that a similar locomotive will be coming for additional work... so there will be a Czech mate.

If it is to be restored to operation, the boiler will need an ultra-sound Czech.

Remember, ML&M is private property... do not come by just to Czech it out.

While we don't know for sure, rumor has it that the locomotive's restoration is being underwritten by a famous football coach... Bill Beliczech.

My experience is that no matter where you Czech, you can never find that 10mm when you want to, Mike.
