Lost in all of the hoopla about the NS heritage units this past week was the return of the freshly (and correctly) painted N&W 1776 and the CW Baldwin 662. Ns did the 1776 and I think the Roanoke Chapter of the NRHS did the CW 662. The 662 was one of the "Lost Engines of Roanoke", being ressurected from the scrap yard in south Roanoke.

From what I read, NS replaced some missing parts (roof fans, maybe some others), but it's still just a non-operational static display.
Very nice pics. She sure looks better with a fresh coat.
mack,
I can't add anymore to what Jake says. The first thing I noticed, other than the proper shades of paint, was that the fans on top had been replaced. The Roanoke chapter clan did a very nice job with the Baldwin diesel too.
