Hey John, I stumbled across that same Jeffrey while looking for a steel plant, but forgot what town it is in. What town is it in? Want to mark it on my topomap.

30" gauge Mancha & it has now been put on display outside of the Sterling Hill mine museum.

That was one of the two we were trying to get to preserve. Thanks for posting that one Greg.

NICE LITTLE UNIT :!:

its funny how it has a permissible controller, yet (should have) a sparkin' trolley pole.............. Was it a modified cable reel locomotive? That would make a little more sense I think with the permissible controller....



The motorman's position almost looks too simple! the whitcomb has bells and knobs and levels all over the place!
