The Age Of Steam Roundhouse's website has a real nice photo essay on the visiting Leviathan 4-4-0 which is having some work done this winter. One fine looking machine at one fine shop complex. See website.

A beautiful locomotive, indeed! thanks for posting.
Here are some photos I took when the LEVIATHAN (completed 2009) ran with her kid brother, No. 17, the YORK and also the WILLIAM H. SIMPSON (completed May, 2013), on the historic Northern Central Railway south of York under the auspices of Steam into History
No. 17 at Hanover Junction ready to depart for New Freedom. President Abraham Lincoln changed trains here on his way to deliver his Gettysburg Address during the dedication of a National Cemetery there. The remnant of the Gettysburg Branch is the track on the foreground.
When I asked Mr. Kloke, builder of both locomotives, to pose for a photo, he insisted we include these two charming young ladies from Steam into History.
As No. 17 departed for New Freedom with our train, the LEVIATHAN moved toward the station at Hanover Junction. As the name on the cab passed the coach window opposite mine, I aimed, clicked the shutter, and hoped for the best.

you do know who the webmaster for the age of steam round house is right.
I'm hoping to visit the Age of Steam Roundhouse in July, when the NMRA will have a special day-long tour there as part of their 2014 National Convention being held in Cleveland. And, yes, you do have to be an NMRA member to participate. The tour cost is $99, and the convention costs--registration, hotels, other tours, etc.--are pretty much sky-high.
