I was in the Portland, OR shops a few months ago and there was one in Wabash colors, as I recall. It looked pretty good.
Is there another PA being restored?

Wabash?????? The #190 even has Nickel Plate Road lettering on the sides, and the NKP logo on the nose door!
Try doing a Google Search for NKP190 for more details and photos of her in the new building.
Here is a site on the NKP 190.
Nice!
I've often wondered what Mrs. McCormack has to say about what Doyle spends on his train "hobby".

Further good news is the two PAs remaining in Mexico, the DH-17 and DH-19, are preserved in the collection of the National Railway Museum at Puebla.
Here's a shot showing the DH-17 as well as FT 2203:
I believe the DH-19 is maintained in operating condition and run on a short stretch of museum trackage.

She's too busy with her spice/gravy business...
IT's possible that Doyle has other projects going on as well as finding a fabricator for those Alco side grills.
Thanks Jack! I wasn't aware of the "Yes Dear" but, this would be proof once again that it always pays to be nice to the "management".
