With the dedicated labor from numerous MCRR volunteers, the 6 is BACK! Visitors to the 2010 Old Threshers' Reunion were treated to the sights, sounds, and smells of the 6 pulling a train.

Even though the locomotive has been repaired, we are still gathering the necessary funding to pay the bills. This is where we need YOUR help.

We are starting to tally the final cost and the estimates are in excess of $50,000!

Please help us get the 6 back under steam by purchasing flues, firebox stays, or fire brick. Better yet, help us by buying a flurry of flues, stacks of stays, and bundles of bricks! You can purchase a flues, stays, or bricks as often as you wish.

We are introducing our "Finance a Flue", "Secure a Stay", and "Buy a Brick" programs with an easy donation scheme via PayPal. You don't need a PayPal account; Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express cards are accepted.

Simply click on any "donate" button, indicate how many flues, stays, or bricks you'd like to purchase, and follow Paypal's directions. Alternatively, press Paypal's "continue shopping" button to return here.

Note: If you are feeling "flush" you can easily finance 10 flues, or secure 100 stays. There are no restrictions on how many flues, stays, or bricks to finance-secure-buy.

Finance a Flue: $50 per flue
Secure a Stay: $25 per stay

Buy a Brick: $15 per brick
