Today, Henner and I drove up to Rancho Cordova to meet with Les and Casey Wilmunder at the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers track. I came home the proud owner of a 7.5" gauge Falk.
She's going to need some work - lots of her external fittings are leaking, and she needs cosmetic work - but she passed her hydrostatic boiler test and is basically sound, so I'm a happy camper!

I'll try and get some more photos tomorrow (Henner took these today). She also came with a short tank car which holds the propane tank.
