I keep getting these messages and I don't know who they come from, but are the engines going to be scrapped? If so, we need to be doing more than just writing...

Jacob, It all depends on how much of an adventure that you want to make of it. You can try by asking at the office, or you can do as we did and do the "Mission...

Can anyone give the current status of these loco's. Since they most certainly are all froze up they would need be moved via flat car and that is no small...
okay its been a long time since I have done this so I hope I do it right.... Acording to C.Gratton Price's book on the CWRy.(who used cast off M's and M-1's)...
The worst thing you could do with those things is to attempt to move them with out ensuring that the bearing on all axles have been cleaned and lubricated...
I'm in the process of moving an ALCO 0-6-0 now. That is about 160,000 pounds minus tender. In this case it will go by flatcar to California. I'm working...
I guess I'll weigh in with my opinion! To move the engines, ie "rolling" them, the rods must all be removed, which will be real fun after 50 years. the...
Do you know exactly what the coal station looks like??? A static display loco is worth about $10,000 unless it has certain special qualities. Like rare....
There is no guarantee that the pistons are stuck in the cylinders, all you got to remove is the main rod from the piston to the side rods, if the pistons are...
as far as whats on them that comes down to nothing, every thing savageable is gone including stacks on some of them. I figure they sat out back of the shops ...
He is right, you need to look at the bottom of the axles inside the journal boxes, you will need to remove the cotton waste and the cotton journal pad which...
While you're lifting them up, why not just dump the engines on a flatcar and have them hauled to the destinaton that way? This is more expensive but much more...

It also takes a pretty big jack to do this and the area may not be stable enough to attempt something like this, especially if you go digging a long pit to...
Well the big problem is in the moving from where they are to either a truck or a flatcar. By the way, today I was quoted $4.50 a mile for flat car service and...
I do not know how much money or resources you have, a crane can run as much as a thousand dollars an hour, some have a minimum time like four hours, so if you...
There is a bit more to this than just applying oil or grease to the journals. It is very likely that the undersides of the journals have rust on them. This ...
