They don't stay that shiny for long!
Say hello to 7808 Cookham Manor for me: I was there in 1961 when she made the last run through Chiseldon (where I was born).

Yesh
There's a cast plate that so sez on the left
No 12 served the Westside Lumber Co for a long time out of Tuolumne CA
That pic may have been made on the Georgetown CO loop Ry I lost track of #12 years ago
Re: Post your (LF) trains!
DUH! And I looked for a nameplate. I took a ride on the Shay on that line in 2004, the last or next to last year they used paid operators. Our friend was the guide and we got to ride in the locomotive, it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for the details -- interesting. I found this example at the Colorado Railroad Museum in/near Golden just last weekend.
