Had a chance to visit the Virginia Transportation Museum in Roanoke. Neat place. They have a building full of interesting displays, but to me the best part is out back.
611:
I couldn't get a good angle for a picture of the 1218 without supports in the way, but it's impressively big when walking the length of it.
And several locomotives to make any high hood fan drool a little
Plus a cut-away view
And a live steam loco on display inside
They also had a large room full of old cars (early 20th century through '70s muscle cars) and an aviation display in addition to the train stuff. All in all, well worth a visit.

So there is a heaven on earth after all!
