Mantua/Tyco 2-8-2

Well 2102 and 2100 are both in the hands of private owners and aren't faring much better. 2100 sits outside and has been hit by graffiti 'artists' and while 2102 is generally covered up, a lot of work is needed to get her running again and Andy Mueller seems to have neither the time nor money to do so, especially now that 425, an ex GM&O loco that was never in this area, is up and running to provide steam power for excursions. Steamtown's shops seem to do a decent, if slow job or getting things actually running - it just seems there is little demand or desire for a loco as big as 2124, and the Big Boy, well, there's no way that's going to run on Northeast rails.
