To digress, you mentioned that parts from Sandy River's steam outline locomotive were being delivered to Maine Locomotive & Machine. Since the locomotive is being repaired, the group should consider changing the driving wheels. When #11's drive wheel center patterns get back from the foundry, one or both of them should be modified to accept crank pins. They then could be used to cast much better-looking drive wheels for the locomotive. I know that this would be costly, but it would greatly improve the aesthetics of the locomotive.
