Locomotive #17 should be running by mid summer 2005. If u would like to help us restore the locomotive just come out to Hesston Steam Museum and find me or Ted of the flying dutchman railway.

Is there a chance to get photos of the pony truck of #17? We are currently rebuilding Porter#46 at NJMT and are in need of some detailed pictures of it as our truck desn't appear to be quite right. Any help would be great.
