Confirmed: This locomotive is no longer in Springfield,MO. It is on public, static display in front of the Branson Toy Museum. The original owner (a local business mogul) has passed away. It is part of his estate being managed by his children, and is on loan for the moment (my understanding from speaking with museum workers). They would like to put it in a building but no one has stepped up with funding. Closer mechanical inspection reveals the boiler in remarkably good shape, with all flues still in and thickly rolled but not welded), lubricators still leaking some steam oil, turbo and hot water pump in place, journal packing tight, and linkages still movable. The MAJOR DEGRADATION ISSUE is the stack is not capped. The smokebox is quickly rusting, with acidic corrosion taking its toll from remaining ash.

This may be the locomotive, wearing number 9, that is at the Toy Museum in Branson, MO.

One of George's traines went to California in the eighty's.It was on TV and in the paper.I grew up around the coner from these traines.I think it is in California in the red wood forest being used for tours.

This locomotive was sold to ??? in 1998. Possibly went to Minnesota.
