Huzzah!

Pete;

I think that is the same Nate who ran #1 gauge live steamers at the ECLSTS. Have not seen many posts by Nate recently, but now I think I understand why. He has gone from walk beside to ride on.

It is indeed. He is a busy young fellow.

Not sure what you mean by “hooked up”. I’ve bumped in to him many times at steam-ups. As the video says, he’s only 17 now, so he hasn’t been able to drive himself anywhere to meet you!

He’s also a live steam fan, and LSC isn’t be biggest group of live steamers. There are a lot more on MLS, where he used to post. (You’ll note on the first link that he also does artwork.)

Pete …he’s in Wrightsville I’m just outside of Harrisburg and first I have heard of the young man. Just saying and thought Ken might have known him that’s all.

He’s arrived like a hurricane, got himself a live steam engine at the age of 15 (?), rebuilt it, fixed up 2 more, and then got interested in larger scales. And that’s just my impression from seeing him at steam-ups.

I don’t think Nate even knows LSC exists. He’s a very busy guy. I can drop him a note via MLS about this if you want?

I only know a few people that run on the Live Steam track.

Jerry, Pete and a few others. His name didn’t ring a bell.
