"Here is the latest from BLW. The boys in the shop got pretty excited when they put the finishing touches on the rear frame extension and trailing truck for the 2-10-2 F81 engine. It was also the first time that the engine was connected to the tender. Brings new meaning to getting "hooked up".  It's always fun to build new things, and this engine is no exception."  - -  Barry
