Rewheeling the Pere Marquette 1225 on August 11, 2023. Many thanks to @fmwsolutions and McNally & Nimmergood Crane Rentals, as well as our staff and volunteers on a job well done.
Glad to see the work on her gear has gone well! I know we're all very excited to see Pere Marquette 1225 back up and running, and hopefully in time for this year's North Pole Express!
I seriously do personally hope that the locomotive passes its safety check 'cause we certainly DON'T wanna risk bursting a safety valve alongside the boiler SINCE that's basically what happened to the famously well-known Gordon the Big blue livery-paintwork carrying the official #4 L N E R class A0 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley himself in Doncaster during the official 192Os as a prototype of the well-known L N E R class A1 Pacific type of steam-driven railway tender locomotive in the officially well-knowingly famous Thomas & Friends TV show's own official complete full CGI animation era in the movie titled The Great Race when he took part in the Great Race event @ the Great Railway Show on the mainland!
