That second engine is a strange setup. Stem control valves at one end and pistons at the other with that glass house on top. What was itcalled

I first fell in love with the William Mason around the age of four or five. She has remained my favorite steam locomotive ever since. At the time she had a beautiful light and dark blue paint scheme, with the boiler in a striking sky blue. In 2003 the roof of the roundhouse collapsed in a blizzard. As every time I had ever seen the engine up to that point she had been on the turn table, I must assume the bulk of the roof fell on top of her.

When the B&O Museum re-opened a few years later (with a new roof) the William Mason was no longer on display. I asked about the engine and was told she was undergoing restoration. My recent visit to the museum was the first time I saw the engine in many years. It's hard to see in the video, but she now has a dark blue and green paint scheme. For some reason, I found the green with yellow pin stripe on the tender to be especially unpleasing to the eye.

I asked about the new colors. I was told this was the original paint scheme that the restores found, when they stripped the paint down to bare metal. I am now coming to grips with the fact that I do not care for the color scheme that covers my favorite steam locomotive
