We have a great time at it Charlie, we have a great crew and our hosts at Steamtown couldn't be better. Not many clubs get the chance to maintain there equipment at a place like this, and we take full advantage of the opportunity that we were offered here. I don't know the particulars of the arrangement that we have with the parks service but both the ARHS and Steamtown have benefited greatly from the deal. It will be a great moment of pride when we fire up and run the B unit for the first time. It will then be the last and only operating F-3b in the US (there are a few others here and there, but none in service). We will definitely have to go out for a nice cold one to celebrate that day. After she it painted (the easy part) and lashed up in consist with her sister A's it will be a great moment of pride in what we have done.
