    I love the "whitewall" wheels, I personally think they make the locomotive much more aesthetically pleasing and wish they'd do it with 4014.

      The thing about whitewalls, they look very nice, but they dirty very easily on an operational locomotive. But hey, 765 and her crew make it work, so who knows?

    It may be pointless for the big boy to roll in hopes of getting restored to operation and not getting rust welded to the rails but i give the museum props for exercising the equipment. Glad to see it can still move!

Ik diesels are more efficient and all but I would’ve loved to see way more steam locomotives run the rails before diesels took over

    If you look at the crosshead on the leading set of drivers, you can see part of the piston rod sticking out. My heart sank a bit; it looks as though they just cut through the rod, so they could get the wheels to turn. Do correct me if I’m wrong, but if they did butcher it, that’s unfortunate.

When the large McCormick Pavillion was built in 1972 BB 4017 was pushed inside for the winter then pulled in front for the summer. But sadly since 2001 when the newest managers built the New Lenfestey Reception Center the 4017 was repainted Bkack with white wall drivers; but shoved inside and the rest of the Lenfestey Center was built up around 4017, and the British A4 60008 Eisenhower 4-6-2 Pacific, and GG1 P.RR. 4800, and others; but sadly the Front tracks are ripped off, with the new Gift shop and offices built in front of 4017.....thus sadly 4017 is Trapped inside!!!!!...until somebody else can ripp out the walls, and set 4017 FREE AGAIN AT LAST!!!!!

    Hello how are you? I want to share you
    This is a message from your loving God.
    God is a loving God and want to save us all.
    God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment.
    He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus.
    There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings)
    Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black.
    Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that.
    They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something.
    But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean.
    They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now.
    Thats a lie because:
    The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea.
    Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing.
    A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work.
    I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God you Will find True love. Read the Bible too please because its a perfect book. Thats how you know God Is real💕🙏. Read what Jesus told because its perfect talk💕🙏

    For the boy/girl discussion, complex machinery is traditionally referred to in the feminine form. The only items I know of not referred to in this way are Russian ships for some reason. They are referred to as masculine. Planes, trains, automobiles, ships, generators, grills, stoves….if it’s complex, it’s referred to as she. It’s a sign of affection as well as tradition. We all love our mothers after all.
