[Steam-engine] Buckeye Progress

[Rick Rowlands]

Terry,

If you can send me a good pic of the engine in its current state within the 
next day or two I'll send it along to ISSES for the next Bulletin.  Do you 
know that cylinder size and stroke yet?   When was the engine removed from 
Milwaukee?  What is the official name of your group?

I have a partial news article about these engines but need a few more 
tidbits of info. to complete it.

Thanks
