Two weeks ago the BBC spent a week at Railtown 1897 in Jamestown, California
filming one of a four part history series, the specific one at Railtown is
about the completion of the Trans-continental RR. Can't figure out why they
didn't go to Promontory - maybe the weather wasn't what they
That is just plain sick. Yuk. A shay with a pilot is wacky looking to
begin with due to the off set boiler and high framing. Pinkish red? That's

Great Idea, Keith, I knew there were reasons why I love this site. I have
just spent some time looking up alternate sources for wire cloth for butane
burners, type 304 Stainless, 100, 60, and 40 mesh. Others too. I will

Hello All,
Although I tried desperately to refrain, I finally gave in and allowed a
mental picture of a Shay with a 'cow-catcher' to amble through my mind. Have
they no shame?! I'm all for a good whimsical creation on occasion, but this I

Great tip Keith! I don't know anyone who uses the pump nasal spray
bottles, so my wife's soap dispenser is likely to be abducted by aliens or
