Hey all of you Midwest Steamaholics. Even you left and right coasters.
It is official, there will be a steam track at the 2008 HAGRS.
Don’t know what HAGRS is. Well its only the best large scale train show in the Midwest.

Although the particulars are still being worked out, it will be an elevated track designed for live steam operation. Double mainline with several staging tracks.
For you folks that will be flying in, don’t worry about bringing water, butane or oils as the show will provide them. All you need to bring are your engines. Okay maybe some rolling stock for them to pull also.
For you coal burners, you will need to make arrangements to have a supply on hand. You can either bring it yourself or have it dropped shipped.
I keep saying that there are a lot of closet Steamaholics in the Midwest, but so far I’m being proved wrong.
So please help me save face and prove that there are more of us then those ho-hum sparkie types.
Thanks
David Roberts and Doug Bronson
