    Went to see her myself and I have to say, they did a very good job on restoring her! It’s nice to see that people actually care about her.

      Kris people are beginning to care in a big way. The San Fernando Heritage Trust and the Borough are doing much to preserve the history of the City. Engine No.11 is a big part of the overall effort. Thanks for your comments.

      I agree the could have just build underground subways if they were thinking about the traffic it would have help us in our transport field they promise the rapid rail i am yet to see that who knows maybe they may have another idea just wish they never gave up so easy on the trains 🥺🥺🥺

    I favor having them run for tourism and education. Not just static display.

    Hi again Mr. Beadon. Do you happen to know where locomotive D11 is? My father has called Paramount to ask where the locomotive is ( since him and some of the staff at paramount are friends) and they said that it’s not there anymore.

      Hi Kris, I had not heard anything recently but will be in Trinidad very soon and will follow this up. I too would like to know the answer to this question. Thank you.
