Has the Dolbeer & Carson #3 been moved out of CSRM to Samoa yet? This engine was later the Stockton Terminal & Eastern #3 and is now in kit form.
IMHO the restoration of the #37 is going to be a big job. I hope they can pull it off. I am still wondering why this group acquired a locomotive on the east coast (albeit one that is pertinent to CA and their area) instead of focusing on something already in their collection. For example I have seen the PLCo. 2-6-2 #29 in steam back in the '80s, and I am curious. The 29 is a typical Baldwin 2-6-2 double-ender, and would make an excellent excursion engine.
