Unknown 4-8-4 No. 4402Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Jun 5, 2025 @ 15:06:09
I have read on an online forum this engine is in fact homemade. The boiler was also not built to any code, and is rather sketchy in construction. Due to this, it was only fired up a handfull of times. It also had traction issues as was related. The original owner also owned an 18" gauge 2-6-0 which is currently either operable or being restored.
