Oh, well.
I was going to take my father to see 1057 but if SSR isn't running steam all
the time then I'm not going to drive out to Tottenham to be disappointed.
My father still talks about the last time when he came out to visit and we
took the kids to see 136.
I was thinking it would be a great day trip because my father really liked
working on D-10's and he'd get a huge kick out of seeing one run after all
these years.
IMO, if SSR isn't running steam they're toast because that's the only reason
anybody would come out. I know for a fact I won't be coming out this summer
if there's no steam running.

I know the purists won't like this (admittedly I'm one), but if
this is the
case I wonder if there should be some consideration to converting
1057 to an
oil burner. Running a diesel every weekend I'm sure will see
their ridership
drop off substantially.
Does anyone know how long it will be before 136 is ready?
