East Broad Top converts M-7 to steam power

The East Broad Top Railroad in Rockhill Furnace, PA announced the successful first firing of locomotive M-7’s conversion to steam. Borrowing parts from out-of-service mikados, the industrious roundhouse staff of the EBT converted M-7 to steam power over the winter. They graciously provided this photo…

April fools to you too, Jon.

I can see that. The steamer is right next to the M-7. Neat shot, though. Once bitten, twice shy. DH already got me about 530am. Ralph

Rub it in Geoff, I have 363 days to plot revenge :) Ralph

Ralph if I had not read all of the post in that thread before I read the story I would have fallen for it too. You saved me this year by reading it before I could.
