Sunday Morning run with great plumes. Pix and video

Electronics Live Steam
#1

Sunday was a great day for steaming. Cool/damp/no wind. Fired up the Mikado and it ran great. Second run was 30 minutes, still had 100 ml of water left in the boiler, so could have gone another 10 but it was lunch time. First run I was doing videos/pix so not sure of the time. I’ll post the video url after I get the pix uploaded.

I'm not that much into running live steam, but I do enjoy watching them run. Although I own a live steamer they're too much work for me.........;)

Sure we look here :smiley: :smiley: Nice pictures Jerry!

I still haven’t fired my steamer since I finished the weathering last winter. Need to get some track put back down and take her out for a spin.

Nice to see a live one that isn’t doing warp factor ten.
(Like they do on those raised “race tracks” you often see on the vids.)

I haven’t looked at live steam too much.
I like it ,but I might want to buy one and I don’t think I could afford it.

Jerry, I admire any man who keeps a pond full of fish just for the poor hungry birdies…
