Lovely engine, but what airhead designed the exhibit? Those bricks in a circle, for example! 😣😣😣😣😣

she looks better than the 1309 did when pulled from the Museum. Thanks for sharing.

That is/was the front on a "G" Gauge Dog Bone, and ran at one time, the length of the Engine and Tender, I think it's been dismantled.......If you would like to help with this engine, other than sharing your complaints of what is or should be, please join the Collis P. Huntington, and make your desires known. The Collis P. Group will no doubt give you a pass key, and you can donate your time, and expertise till your hearts desire.........Fact !

 Was in Huntington, WV just the other day and thought I'd share these pictures of 1309's sister  the 1308.

Park was closed so this is as close as I could get.

Ole girl dont look too bad being it's been outside righ in the same spot since 1962.

Cullen Mack, the C&O # 1309 Group has made 2 trips to the 1308, that I know of, taking pictures, and getting measurements with parts that are missing from the 1309.......Ernie Clay has helped them immensely, with their tasks at hand. Those guys really have their hands full, even before parts were stolen and sold for scrap........Glad you were able to stop by for a visit.....I don't know how old your kids are, but call me, and I'll get you hooked up with Ernie Clay for a personal visit, and you can bring you kids along, as they would really enjoy that visit........................................Brandy !
