Check out this YouTube series of someone (unnamed) who has acquired two 2' Davenport 0-4-0Ts and is restoring them to operation. One of the locomotives was (I kid you not) blown apart with dynamite!

It's a great series so far with great explanations, etc.

Ed and all,
                I found the site also and it is great. Not many people will take on two locomotives at the same time! He will sure have a lot of brazing to do
on all that cast or ductal iron.

I hope that the manager give the number of the Davenport Dinkies, so I can look for them in the J. David Conrad books.

One of them was derilect in Alaska of all places!
