Thanks for the correction on the engine number. I knew it was wrong when I wrote it but for the life of me I could not pull the right number out of the muddle of my head.</div>

I remembered the circumstance when I first read of it because I grew up south of the Charleston area and had several extended family members who worked at that plant in South Charleston. The locomotive was there all that time and I had no clue. </div>

<div dir="ltr">I never realized that using old locos as stationary boilers was as prevalent as responses indicate. I also, don't remember this topic being covered by an Arrow article. If there are a few photos and some remembrances, looks like this could
be a nice little article that I believe many would find quite interesting, hint, HINT! I would be more than happy to help put it together if someone would take point on this.

<div>Looks like a loco was converter to a stationary boiler with one HECK of a stack added. What a scene to model?</div>
<div>Anybody know anything about this, like what loco was converted?</div>
