For those who are not aware, there's this Railtown Historic Park in Jamestown, California that has a Rogers 4-6-0 and they post photos on their blog about maintenance work they do. It has helped me learn some about steam (would help me more if I were better about reading it). But there are some great photos and talk about the work that is being done.

It's been in so many movies and tv shows, it's insane.

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."

It's on Back to the Future 3. Even been on a episode of the A Team when they have to deal with horse rustlers.

For what it's worth...
I've seen nearly every movie & show this engine has appeared in and I didn't know that I was watching the same train until a few years ago. Also, I had no idea about the blog, which is REALLY kool.
Belated, thanks for posting!
