Thanks for creating a place for frank and open discussions about burnt fingers. As a starting point, I will say that I have just gotten into live steam, it all started a year ago when I purchased a Accucraft C-21 from Roybe at Quisenberry Station. That lead to a 2 Cyl Shay that is about to go into the shop for some significant modifications, a C-16 Bumble Bee because it looks so neat in its yellow paint scheme and a K-27 the pride of my growing fleet. I have a K-28 on Order, maybe I will see it for Christmas if Accucraft can get their production worked out.
Welecome all Steam Addicts that will migrate from some of the other sites
