Tom Wrote:I just bought a video that has Alan Pegler talking about the tour. Apparently, it was to be sponsored by Nelson Blount (of Steamtown) but he died in a plane crash while they were still making preparations. Pegler said that they should have cancelled the tour then. The tour was not financially successful.Steamtrains Wrote:Those builders plates are really cool...!! Why did the IRS seize the coaches.?? Did the tour organizers owe them taxes or something..?
The owner (Alan Pegler) was a Brit, but apparently, according to the IRS, since the train was making money here, he was obligated to pay IRS taxes. He disagreed, and you know how that goes with the IRS.
One of my friends has a marker lamp that he was told came off the train while it was wintering in Ontario.
