At least at one point there were very real plans to cosmetically "superpower" it. Rick shared plans with a lot of people. Then, as he often does several times per week, changed his mind. The acquisition of the rolling mill and transitioning it into power for that is really why it's not happening, although it doesn't rule out him changing his mind again in the future and upgrading it.
This one meets your extraordinary standard of “I was there.” Wonderful, and thank you.
The Todd engine is how I found J&L, and the steam and fortitude keeps me coming back.
Thank you for sharing.👍
There is a lot of hard work going on at the J&L... But Rick sounds like a kid on Christmas morning.
Awesome keep it up man
Great work
Thanks Rick!
Can always set us up on a tripod and let it roll. :) With or without time-lapse.
Would yall consider building a turntable + engine shed for all six of your locomotives?
People actually thought you were gonna rebuild 62 into a Berkshire..
Stupid
