Good luck raising the funds! I hope it comes to fruition!

50% completion in less than three years since she was moved from the park??? An amazing effort!!

[@richhood9934]

This effort is even more amazing considering some of the dreadful weather the Nashville area has endured and probably a complete work stoppage last year during the pandemic! Hopefully no more of these obstacles are encountered and we may see 576 under steam in 2 to 3 years.
