I used to live in Laurinburg I now live closer to Scottsdale AZ I learned the engine is up for sale so I might recommend it to McCormick Stillman, they need more steam anyway

I spoke to the owners of the locomotive today, and they expressed interest in selling the locomotive. The future buyer may either continue its operation on the existing railroad at their liesure or transport it to their own property. Please contact me at trentm1080 for details and contact info for the owners of this locomotive

Both locomotives at the John Blue house in Laurinburg, NC were built by Alex Schneider and my self in Loveland, Colorado. The 2-6-2 is a coal fired and superheated live steamer. The steam outline 2-6-4T is powered by a Ford 2300CC Pinto engine.

This is a coal-fired, live-steam locomotive. In addition, they also have an internal-combustion, hydraulic-drive, steam -profile, 2-6-4T locomotive operating. I believe most, if not all, of this equipment came from the Timnath Northwestern Railway, formerly in Timnath CO.
