Very handsome "Pacific" type steam locomotive, the Grand Trunk Western railroad had a decent variety of attractive looking steam power, including their 4-8-4 and 4-6-2 type locomotives.
I am. We don’t know the shape, and even if it was in decent shape it would cost a lot of money. Plus you would need a line that would be willing to host it, where it could also make back the money that was put into restoring it.
You do have a point about the shape a similar engine Atlantic Coastline number 1504 has been sitting out for the same amount of time and it's being restored same thing for main Central 470 it's been sitting out for decades and yet there's given to the go at restoring it to operation

Happy New Year! Thanks For Sharing!
Holy crap they restored her! Absolutely beautiful
Happy new year [westley]
Good morning
I am surprised nobody attempted to restore her to operation

@@chendersonrailproductions704 you make a really good point
But still it would be interesting to see one of the surviving GTW usra running again

And that latter one was in way rougher shape
