socal 1" LE 0-4-0 By: Tom  Downing	Comment Entered: 3/7/2009 9:28:18 AM By: Charlie & Todd  Giordano - Torrance, CA Yes a very neat engine. I would like to see if it would run. Would be a perfect engine for Harlan Hineys 1inch track behind his house or down at the LALS's track.   Comment Entered: 3/8/2009 10:30:10 AM  By: tom  downing - longbeach yes this would be a good one to look in to getting to run at some pont, as with any older loco we just have to do a boiler test fist then go from there.   Comment Entered: 3/27/2009 8:19:06 PM  By: CHARLIE  GIORDANO - TORRANCE, CA Tom, I would really like to see that engine run one day. It would look great om Harlans backyard layout.
