Slate Creek #9 is currently in transit from its former home in California. When it arrives at the end of this week, it should be ready to go into service, and is already fitted with Radio Control and a chuff resonator. Plans eventually involve some cosmetic work, working headlights, a whistle, and SCRY graphics on the tender; it'll remain #9 and trade places with #3 in the SCRY lineup, which will now be assigned to the Bachmann 2-4-4T Forney, still under reconstruction. Live Steam has been absent from the SCRY lineup since 2004 when the 0-4-0 "Ruby" met with an unfortunate accident and was removed from the roster. When #9 arrives there will be more photos and hopefully some onboard video added to this page . . . stay tuned!

Number Nine often was loaned out to various places. One specific was.....cement or potash company...loaded on SG flat at Owenyo, moved to where it was needed.
Never changed the graphics.
Mine is back-graphicked to Carson and Colorado.
Spent a lot of time on that engine long before it was part of a museum at Laws.
