Hi Bart!

When you get up there take a second to give the throttle a yank for me; been a long time since I pulled on the throttle of a steam locomotive though I did ride in the cab of NKP 765 when she first came to my area, good steaming engine as I recall.

I can definetely do that for you! I havent touched a steam locomotive throttle in over 3 years and cant wait. Just coming out of an overhaul, 765 should steam great. Ill post a full trip report with photos when I return. "Start the Fires and unchock the tires!"
