Fix
the Six!
Continuing the "Finance a Flue," "Secure a Stay," and "Buy a Brick" Programs.
The 6's boiler has returned from the boilermaker in Southern Minnesota. All of the stays and flues have been replaced but many hours of labor is still necessary before it runs again on the MCRR. While the locomotive is being repaired, we are still gathering the necessary funding to pay the bill! This is where we need YOUR help. The estimates to repair the boiler are in excess of $30,000 -- and that is just for the boilermaker. We expect another $10,000 - $20,000 for other repairs, maintenance, accessories, piping, valves and so on. While we make some money during the Old Threshers' Reunion, Midwest Haunted Rails, and the North Pole Express, this expenditure has caught us by surprise. 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.
