We seem to have strayed just a bit, so I think we should get back on 1218.
So, when was the last time 1218 ran under its own power?
Does all the time it has been sitting affect the inside of the boiler, pipes, tubes or anything else relating to the boiler?
Some said parts have been pilfered, sold off and what not, and we've touched on machining new parts/manufacturing new parts, cost and other such things.
We've also debated on where would 1218 be set to run the rails should it be restored(at least I think someone said something). Question for that part, is there anywhere besides mainlines(not saying it would run there) where it would be too restrictive because of something like rails wouldn't be able to handle it?
I don't think I can ask anything else that I can think of at this time. Any of you have anything else to add?
