Hey gang, Im with the Southeastern Shortline and Narrow Gauge museum, the group who owns the V-C 50. We are in need of a headlight, bell, and whistle for the museums groundbreaking in June. We are also interested finding historical photos of this locomotive, as there are only few that have been found.If anyone knows where any of these items can be found, or if anyone would be interested in donating them, please email me at punninator@gmail.com. Any information or help is greatly appreciated!

She never went to Cia. Azucarera Saramaguacan #1, but was sold new to Osceola Cypress direct after the first sale fell through the cracks. I have a photo of her when she was being offered for sale by Osceola Cypress and in service on Va-Carolina. Another locomotive I played on as a child when I lived in Lakeland. Now they fence off all of these old locomotives and kids can't feel how it must have felt to be in one.
