Owned by the South Peace Centennial Museum, this is the oldest engine in our collection. Very few of this small, early model were produced. It came to Heisler AB in 1912 & to the Spirit River/Woking area in 1922 where it was used for threshing & to power a sawmill until the late 1930s. In 1964 it was purchased by Fred Tveter & Arnold Christianson who took it to Valhalla & restored it. In 1967 it moved to the McLean farm near Beaverlodge to form the basis of the first Pioneer Day which led to the establishment of the South Peace Centennial Museum. It was last used in 1998 as the 1999 testing confirmed the boiler unsafe for further operation. The engine is complete & authentic in all detail & the SPCM hopes to eventually raise the $55,000 needed to replace the boiler.
A bit of crud in this pull - first one from the mold - but I'm really happy all the thrusters came out with zero bubbling
This unusual steam shunting engine does not have a fire box.It was used by Proctor and Gamble in a volatile environment.The engine has an extra large boiler which would give a couple of hours of running when it was charged from an external steam supply.
It now stands in a field off the A426 in Blaby Leicestershire.
Weather update: April 28th - Kanata, Ontario - Winds seemed to have subsided a bit. We're reported to have had gusts in the range of 90kph (55mph). Roofers will have lots of business replacing shingles. My part of Kanata seems to have been spared any major hit but still some trees knocked over in the neighborhood and certainly quite a few shingles blown off neighborhood roofs.

Conrail SA-31 sits in Farmingdale with NS GP38-2 5311 leading the train LHF. CSX GP38-2 2810 was the original leader, but a problem with the unit's cab signals forced the crew to move the engines around.
