Beautiful! Reminds me of Central Pacific No. 1, the Gov. Stanford 4-4-0, at the CSRM. I wrote about it when Stanford University, the owner, agreed on the long-term loan and I was amazed at the quality of the cosmetic restoration when it was unveiled at Sacramento. I also was honored when I was an editor at Sunset magazine to be assigned to write the advance story on the CSRM opening. Yow, how time flies!

Trivia: At the Stanford Shopping Center, there once was a restaurant with an HO layout. One loco was the Gov. Stanford. Also, the McDonalds used to have murals on the walls picturing the Gov. Stanford.
