Continuing our exploration of places to enjoy the hobby of Model Railroading and Rail Fanning, Jan and I are wintering in Dundee, Florida. First time in our 44 years of life together to not be in the St. Louis area to bring in the New Year. With the amount of water in Carlyle, St. Louis and the surrounding soggy world, this is a good thing. Today is the first day of the Ridge Live Steamers Ride on Operations. Lots of members of the Florida Live Steamers will attend from around the State and including other people escaping to Florida for warmer weather.
I’ll try to document this weekend’s events in this thread -

But leave the photography to the professionals, that have been recording the event for the Ridge Live Steamers on their web page.

It will be in the 'Pictures" area, as prior events are already documented.
