  1. Beautiful engine. It’s a shame to see it deteriorate to what it is now.

  2. 6218 was a functional locomotive, needing a typical refit for steam. She should never have been taken out of company service, but maintained in a roundhouse or shop building, and repaired as time allowed. What has happened to her since she went to Fort Erie, is almost criminal.
