- Al was a member of the Toronto Society of Model Engineers and more pictures of the engine can be seen on their site. The engine was interesting in that the tender pump was a rotary type instead of the usual back and forth. The engine was a masterpiece and ran not only here but also at the NJLS track. I was told that the boiler was damaged due to low water and eventually the engine was sold for display at to the Science Centre in Toronto Ontario. Word has it that the UP actually wanted to buy the engine to display but it had already been sold. Al Roedding lived in Etobicoke Ontario and I believe was a furniture maker.
