Mike...I am sure I can speak for many to say that is great that your group is trying it's best to keep these historic locomotives and rolling stock preserved and alive. I agree it is a dying breed and the impotance just can't be stressed enough.

With that said, my hopes are that with a new management structure, that the bridges that have been burned in the past between the operators of Edaville (not including the current operators, Brenda and Rob who are doing a fantastic job) and your new team can be mended and perhaps be able to share some of this equiptment between the two.

Even with the shorter loop at Edaville, I am sure that #7 and definately #4 would be able to run without issues. What a sight that would be to see one of them on those rails again...even if it is a shorter ride :)

I hope that things turn around for your group and everyone can hopefully someday see the two groups work together in some capacity.

Cheers
