Was expecting you to see this post and reply, Mr Dewey. What happened to 1727 is pretty heart breaking. I don't know what the answer is to 1727. It needs a savior to come in and save it. I really like how the SP steam loco in Tuscon AZ was sheltered and preserved. That one is another standard to work towards. Thanks..
