From Andy Palumbo's Blog Spot. Thanks Andy. 
Pretty little locomotive. Looks like a nice brass model.
I've been watching him for several years now, and I didn't know he was a railfan. Thanks for sharing.
That is the first steam locomotive I ever ran. It was back in the late 70s when Jerry Jacobson owned it. It was in an old steel mill in Jackson, Ohio back then.
Huh. All green - kinda like the P&LE's 2-8-4's. Guess I like it !!

That is cool!
Now if you want to run 'er again, why, all you have to do is few years of volunteering and you will get your chance.
