Steam Locomotive SMV 205 Restoration

The story of Thielsen McCoy's 38 year mission to restore Porky aka Santa Maria Valley Railroad No. 205, a Baldwin 2-6-2 Steam Locomotive built in 1924. The original video was put together back in 2006 when it looked like completion was imminent. Little did I know that it would take another 15 years to finish the job. With help from Martin Hansen and Facebook, I cobbled together a section to show the final result. There were a lot more people involved than what we put in the credits back in 2006. To all involved and especially our spiritual leader, good work and congratulations.
