I have visited this engine multiple times. The throttle moves back and forth along with the Johnson Bar (Reverser Lever). As well the wood burning firebox door is not welded shut. If you open it there are still pieces of wood and sticks inside. Sadly; though a 2 liter Coke bottle is also in the fire box. The bell is not connected. Both notches on the fire box door hold. Be Careful! If you sit on the seats make sure the iron rod that holds them up is in. If not firmly in the seat will close with you in it. This was common so if the driver or fireman wanted to stand up all he did was fold the seat up into the cab wall.

Saw this engine in mid-March - it is now under open-roofed cover and in good cosmetic condition
