Hey Camelback. Glad you liked the pictures. If you check out the link it takes you to I think 3 or 4 more pics of the old girl. That loco was retired in 1965 just after my Dad was transfered . It sat on a siding of the TH&B railway until it was hauled down for scrap about 72 .It sat in the scrap yard til 74 as I understand . There was a couple of offers on it but the repairs it needed by then were going to be very costly. Among otherthings wrong with it I belive it had a cracked cylinder .So late 74 she went under the torch and that was that . It is a nice project to build .You can google Porter or fireless cooker and get a few more pics from there .I have a few more pics of old porters I have found .I will look for them and post if you like.
