Bill,
Did you see the recent news item about Doyle in Trains Newswire?

If not, check it out: LINK

It says there is plenty to be done on the NKP 190 before it can run. I wish someone with diesel loco skills could go help him get it finished. He's 75 years old now.

Quote:
Although the locomotive was successfully started up in 2013, and even appeared at “Streamliners at Spencer” in Spencer, N.C., in 2014, McCormack says there’s still a “three-page long checklist, all single space” worth of tasks before the Alco will run under its own power. He’s hopeful that will happen sooner rather than later.

“I still have a lot to do on it,” he says. “I just want to see her run once so I can die happy.”
