United States Army 0-6-0 No. 4039

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Jul 30, 2024 @ 15:07:23
Is not under restoration any longer. Was the victim of a lot of mismanagement due to too many contractors involved in the restoration, and many parts were lost. Including the original boiler, which needed to be replaced. It cannot even be made into a display piece at this time.

Chiriqui Land Co. 2-6-0 No. 46

Posted by: Matthew Gardner on Jul 30, 2024 @ 15:07:51
This locomotive is no longer under restoration. The museum is no longer interested in having operating steam on its property. Although, the engine is so far done that the question of simply putting it back together for display would be mute as you might as well complete the mechanical restoration. I also heard another interesting piece of information from somebody about this engine. The boiler with it is actually not the original. It is that from a standard gauge 0-4-0t which was scrapped long ago. The original boiler from this engine was also scrapped long ago.

No. 2253 will be the first of the UK based S160 Class 2-8-0 Steam locomotives to run on oil in preservation, which the work will be carried out by American based FMW Solutions who will be assisted by the NYMR’s Engineering Department for the conversion.
