Dear Friends,
An engine lost in the South American jungle was found after 30 years.
A tree had grown through its smokestack and hornets nested in its firebox.
When mended, it gave good service for 30 more years.
"The Duke" was lost too; not in the jungle, but in his own shed which a landslide had buried.
Not long ago, he was dug out and mended.
His own railway had been pulled up, so he is now at the Thin Controller's.
