locomotives new home would be Everett railroad, or where PR 1361 is being restored to run. IMHO. Those would be my two opinions

Unfortunately, the park here wants to get rid of this cute little engine. If there is anybody interested in this engine, you might want to ask before anything bad may happen to it.

This locomotive also ran in Ohio at the Buckeye Central Scenic Railroad and was operated at 180 psi. I know of one picture of this locomotive at Buckeye Central when it was leaving for PA.

I believe that this is the locomotive that is now on display in Heritage Park near McDonough, GA.  Anyone care to substantiate this?

about old #7, i use to fire on it befor i got my start on CSXT. i dont remember alot of information about it, but i do know it was fueled by coal. and i think standerd boiler pressure was anywhere between 130-150psi, but dont quote me on that.... it is no longer in scottdale, pa, and for the laurel highlands railroad..they no longer exist...when stoped opporations after 2001 i beleave it was. last i hear, it was sold to an owner in Uniontown PA, and was going to be rebuilt and put back into service for a line out of that town, but last word was that fell apart...locomotive tore down for rebuild and repair..and wasnt put back together yet... that is all i can remember and know as of know..it has been some years since i have talked to anyone or seen anyone that knows anything more about what happend to old #7...
