3117 - early morning glint

3117 glints in the early morning sun while 2650 begins to simmer in the background, having been lit up a few hours earlier.

3117 looks like a beauty! When is her first run?

Will 3117 and 3664 be the workhorses in future?

Not sure yet when 3117's first run will be, but it's definitely getting close. We hope by the end of May, but no guarantees.

2650's boiler certificate expires in May, but we've no reason to believe she won't be recertified fairly quickly, so we hope to have all three locomotives available before too long - 2650, 3117 and 3664.

very nice shot here John. Looks like she is ready to roll.
