I’ve been there recently and I have seen that many parts are stolen like gauges, whistle, and Brocken parts etc. but the locomotive looks fine I have a petition if you want to sign at: https://www.change.org/p/clean-fix-up-this-0-4-0t-switcher-for-it-s-100th-birthday

this locomotive currently resides at a former celery packing house in oviedo,Fl. sometime in the 90's the packing house was converted into office "studios", the two old fruit express cars inn front of it are studios "H" and "G". The locomotive last operated (fired up) somewhere around 1990, with limited operation before including a trip to winter garden in the early eighties for the opening of the NRHS chapter museum there. The owner at the time was Dick Perkins, he was apparently trying to set up a tourist operation in oviedo, this unfortunatly never happend. eventually he gave the engine to the north florida chapter NRHS who decided they couldn't move it and stripped it of "collectible parts" and abandoned it to the owner of the property (mid 90's). it is in relatively good condition, for a loco that is out in the weather.

I have a photo of her as Fla Portland Cement Co. # 2 at Storey Fla in 1964, still in service. However I see no markings on her when examining the negative so not sure if it should be 2 or 42 or if there was an ownership change.
