Quote:Yeah, everybody at CSRM has a great time. So what's being accomplished? Will the SP 1771 ever be put back together (what's it been... 20 years)? Will the Kraus-Maffei ever get a nose? Will boiler jacketing ever get put back on the ATSF locos? What's become of the black widow F-7? Is anybody providing any focus, or is management still afraid of the docents?
1. SP 1771 - nope, rumored to be slated for display in a torn down manner to highlight the purpose of the shops.
2. K-M - Its going to the PLA where it will be cosmetically (rumored operationally) restored.
3. ATSF Collection - Bits and pieces are being sent to other museums. Steamers will not get there jackets back on until stored indoors.
Disclaimer - I'm not a docent and could care less about the CSRM politics.
