Well Well Well… More fodder for our first of the year follies. You have just over 30 days to get your other stuff caught up… MIK’s Build Challenge 2020 starts on Jan 1st, And for this years Challenge whimsical will fit in just fine.

BTW: Welcome along for the ride David… And I do Live steam 1:1 scale.

And I guess there is a hint hiding in here…

Hi Dave Taylor;

Actually did the bigger live steam first, but all that was over 42 years ago now. Ran a two foot gauge Crown Metal Products 4-4-0 at Hershey Park during the latter half of the 1960s. Later helped out as a fireman and locomotive engineer on the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern tourist railroad during the 1970s. Had two H. K. Porter saddle tank locomotives: an 0-4-0 weighing in at 45 tons (nicknamed her Pauline) & an 0-6-0 weighing in at 65 tons (nicknamed her Petulia). All three locomotives carried 155psi on the gage. Fun times.

Regards, David Meashey
