Yeah, me too.
That’s why I said it was there before. It was a pic of the back of a BS (cactus grey, obviously... the only color they come in.) and something that doesnt exist in the background.

I don't know why I have so much trouble with pictures on this website...

We had 5 engines fired up today, four Lima Shays and one Climax, we have another 162 ton Shay in the shop rebuilding the boiler and a 90 ton Heisler in Durbin (part of the Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad) till we can rebuild their two truck 50 ton Climax.

I'll try again; Right to left: Shay #5, 80 ton class C built in 1905, delivered here in 1905. next is #9, a 70 ton three truck Climax built in 1919, one of only a few left in the world. Next is Shay #2, built in 1928, and Shay #11 built in 1923 and far left is Shay #4, built in 1922.

That is totally cool...

I'm just glad that they felt the need to preserve that part of history and for the people such as yourself for doing what you do.

The stories those Engines could tell...

Thanks for sharing

I just read an article that was talking about the storage lots full of "softop" Broncos. Waiting to be shipped. The hardtop buyers will have to wait until '22, also the Sasquatch, Wildtrak, and other trim (can't remember it rn) also was on backorder. So if you got a base or lower trim, you get yours first.

It's pretty complicated... Hard tops are a huge issue. Webasto seriously dropped the ball building hard tops. Ford actually stepped in to get the situation somewhat rectified and get them producing sellable tops. They're still behind and playing catch up. But there are some hard tops being delivered.
