Thanks....

There was an article in Trains a while back about Doyle's locomotives....

Any word on the ex-ATSF Alco PA he was restoring?

I agree with other posters on that site - The roundhouse is just as important as the locos. It would be a shame for the roundhouse and turntable to go.

The turntable can and I am sure will be saved, How ever a new pit will need to be made.  I hate to see the roundhouse go, but it might be better to build a new one that would better serve the needs of working on the locomotives.  The railroads did not do major work in roundhouses.
