A video of the noon whistle blow.
A few pics…
Another video short. The home brew Gypsy locomotive and Dave Capp’s 1916 Case warming up for a run.
Awesome great pics and video, thanks Jon for posting this
Nice to see the gypsy run, thanks Jon. I saw it at Walkerville Southern, but it had finished running for the day.
Still ain’t no proof I’m behind the steam cloud however it was the first time unattended filling in for the boss. It was great and I gave it all three barrels along with a typical boss fashion ending the whoop whoop whoop whistle at the end.

I’m really annoyed at Youtube. When they determine a video is a “short”, they convert it to portrait by zooming in and clipping the sides. Both of those videos are shot in landscape and the Youtube edit removes a lot of detail.
If you are on Facebook, you can see the wide mode of the Gypsy start up at Jon Radder on Reels

We rode in the trailer. It was a hoot!
I also hate that Youtube “feature.” I think it’s a matter of length, but not always… No simple fix.
Jealous as all get out! I want to go next time!
It shouldn’t be terribly far for you. LMK if you plan to go. There is much more that I didn’t see, including stock car races and tractor pulls. This year’s show runs all this week and maybe next weekend too.
The show technically runs till Sunday the 6th but it pretty much dies down after Saturday the 5th despite the schedule.

Tuckahoe Steam and Gas has a similar big show every year. Mike takes his live steam track, and one time I was running my EBT Mikado exactly at noon, in time for the Noon Whistle!
