Here is a video from Yesterday when I visited Jeff’s Rockwall Canyon Railway in Southern New Hampshire. He has a beautiful wooded setting and lots of track. The line is a dog bone loop, big loop at one end with a yard, raised which makes a great steamup bay. the other end loops around a mine with some sidings for swiching. a second switch back siding offers some more fun along the way. His daughters were having fun train watching and running the diesel on one of the sidings. Jeff and his lovely wife offered a barbeque lunch as well.
Well Ive been to a couple other steamups and have failed to post them here so here goes…
John, also in southern New Hampshire hosted us on August 1rst. he has a large loop raised to waist height and a seperate steamup bay connected by a “Y” and two draw bridges. John is a 7/8" scale guy so there is plenty of clearance for big stuff and generous curves. Again he served a great Barbeque. We had a few more folks than yesterday but my batteries died and I didnt get film of everyone.
And Mike’s Place in Northeast Massachusetts. He has a very nice, solid and smooth raised layout looping around his back yard. He is British and a fan of British mainline stuff. It was raining hard earlier in the morning and he sent an email cancelling. I have to drive pretty far and was already on the road so I missed it. when I arrived another of the die hard steamers in the area had arrived and was running…so we carried on! We were a small group and got lots of track time.
