Hi,
I found this contraption in my backyard when I stepped out in the morning. After adding steam oil, water and butane it even moved under its own power! Does anybody recognize this loco? I decided to keep it, though it is not a typical logging engine and I did not scratch build it:

Thanks to David for hosting the pictures!

Well, if you decide that it needs to find a new home.....

Nice looking locomotive there.

It appears that the mountain in the background has been "clear-cut" by the local logging company and therefore the acquisition of a non-logging locomotive was in order. BUT, now you need some paying passengers and cars for them to ride in!

"Does anybody recognize this loco? "

Not from that picture. Either turn the flash on, or else move around to the sunny side of the engine.

I don't know why so many people insist on taking, and posting, pictures of the shady side of black locomotives...
