[Steam-engine] Steam Engine Needs Home

[Dan Donaldson]

    I'm sure there are several clubs or organizations that would love to 
acquire an engine like you mentioned.  I believe that it would be a great 
addition the the Darke County Steam Threshers Reunion in Greenville, Ohio as 
they have the property to display such an engine.  The Florida Flywheelers 
also have property and they also have experience moving and restoring large 
engines.  Their 400 HP double acting tandem Snow gas engine was started for 
the first time last January.  A large perminent display like this would be a 
great addition to many shows.
What condition is the engine in?
How much does the man want for it?
Do you have any pictures?
Who can be contacted for more information?

Thanks
Dan Donaldson
