Just got a call from the train room......

Apparently, the W&NK Railroad is requesting a locomotive from the Broake & Howe RR.
The WINK's top ballast scorcher wants a steamer but management wants something small and reliable.
Cheap too.

It appears the W&NK is being run on a shoestring. If it was here in the U.K. Colonel Stephens would be a possible buyer.

Will talk to someone on the WN&K later today.
Have a list of possibles.
I might force a GP9 on them.

Totally forgot how much I love these units.
Had my memory jogged about one being on the Broake & Howe RR engine roster.
Maybe we'll send it to the WN&K?
Word came up that they're under a bit of pressure and I should give an answer.
