From Hansen's quote on TO, Hammond had parts of #19 in his possession, and is now returning them. I don't know either Hansen or Hammond, but it sounds like Hansen's role here is helpful and positive. Since Hansen is a known PNW steam fan, I am sure he wants to ensure that #19 is kept intact.

As a follow-up on the #19 move. So far Court Hammond has been cooperating with the new owner. He has brought back many items that were missing from the engine and given them to the moving crew.
One of the agreements reached between the engine's buyer and Hammond was that the buyer would restore the YW diesel back to opeartion so the #19 could be towed to Montague for loading onto a flat car for shipment to Ohio.
This will result the YW having an operational diesel in case any actual shippers come back.
Time will tell.
