Actually there's 3 Reading T-1's, 2100 spent some time in Canada and was converted to an oil burner. It now sits in Washington state after an abortive attempt at establishing an excusion run there. Last I heard, the loco is for sale. Some pictures that were posted show the side away from the building that it sits next to has been tagged with grafitti.
614 is supposedly being readied to return to service on the Greenbrier train. Someday I might be wealthy enough to afford to ride that one.
Strasburg's locos aren't exactly tiny. Not huge, relative to a Class A or a T-1, but they aren't little teakettles.
Steamtown does run some longer excursion off-property. Power varies though, so you need to pay attention to the advertisements to see when a run will use steam. Recently they ran with the newly repainted Lackawanna F's, one of which belongs to the Anthracite Railroads Historical Society.
