In the late 30's and early 40's the B&M bought a number of
R1a's, R1b's, R1c's, and R1d's from Lima (4-8-2).  About
half of them were scrapped in the mid-50's but some were
sold to the B&O and other RR's.  Does anyone know if any
still exist anywhere in the US or world?

Also, when Steamtown moved to Pa. it took B&M 3513, a big,
beautiful 4-6-2, with it.  There was talk of putting this
engine back in working order.  Is there any truth to this?
If so what?
