Large Scale Central

Steam at the 2006 American Invasion

I guess the majority of the Steam reporting has been over at the other site. It was a lot of fun. I hope you slide over there to take a look. Here is a sample to perk your interest. One of things we did was run a double header of 2 cylinder Accucraft Shays. It was Michigan Cal #2 on the lead and Whiskey Barrel and Maple Stump #6 adding to the power.

They engines pulled 18 cars, of 17 hoppers and passenger caboose. The fueling and adding of water took quite a bit of coordination with multiple hands.

Here Doug Matheson and I are adding water.

And away they pulled after getting the drink.

Everybody was happy, except the Conductor. He’s always watching the schedule.

There are more pictures on both sites under Large Scale Events on the other site and Conventions, Shows and Clubs right here at LSC.

Never mind those big time Conventions.

I sell a bit more stuff - I book my tickets for next year.

Tony, your products were very well represented in Ottawa. They sell themselves.
