Invicta “Mary”

This locomotive was introduced to the railroad during the September 14, 2024, boiler inspection day. The Invicta was built by Jim Zealer in 1990 as the second of a batch of 30 locomotives to plans by British designer LBSC. It was sold to an unknown buyer who displayed it on a shelf until 2024 when it was acquired by Scott Bitner, who built the tender and got the locomotive into a steam-worthy condition. The locomotive was then listed on Discover Live Steam where it was purchased by current owner in August and brought back to Georgia. It is currently coal fired but will eventually be converted to propane and is named 'Mary' after the late grandmother of current owner
