Karl:Please contact Moustain State Railroad and Logging Historical Association, P.O.Box 89, Cass WV and ask for a list of back issue of their journal, 'The Log Train'. The issue you want is Volume 3 Issue #2 which featured lengthy articles on the West Virginia Midland and Pardee and Curtin Lumber Co.
A likely source of photos of the #12 would be Ed Bond, who lives in the Atlanta/Marietta GA area and has a huge collection of eastern narrow gauge photos, especially in VA and WV.
