This event was the reason why my interest on narrow gauge increased more than ever! Although I wasn’t experienced with photos and wasn’t familiar with the locations, it was amazing to finally see SP 18 for the first time
@ScottRuen Thank you for your comment! Glad you and your boys were able to go, it was a fun event. There are tentatively special plans in the works for next year... keep your eye out for news.
@pedrocortes5973 My understanding is the original hope (prior to the pandemic) was to have the engine ready for operation by the time the Steam Up was held in 2022. This didn't happen, but work continues on the loco and it is getting close to operation. You can follow updates on the Lyon Facebook page.
