I visited the LSRHS in North East Pennsylvania in 2006. I looked at a 1941 Whitcomb switch engine. The engine had been partially disassembled and the pistons had rusted up in the block. This engine was a six cylinder manufactured by the Le Roi company of Milwaukee, Wisc. I once owned a Baker 25-50 ag tractor with a similar four cylinder Le Roi engine. I met the other volunteers at the museum. I discussed the possibility of working on the Whitcomb switcher with the idea of putting the engine back together. The museum had acquired a spare engine and extra parts in a trade. I got permission to work on the Whitcomb.
