Correcto mundo...she sat in Doug Morgan's shop yard along with a ng 0-8-0. Anybody
remember that one?
As to the 21, she's a near twin to Sierra 34, except the drivers are bigger, 50" vs. 46".
I remember her at McCloud in the shop with tubes pulled and laying on the floor and
that's when, I guess, that the costs for restoration began to look too high.
