I am remiss here for not directing everybody on this list to what transpired
this weekend with my annual steamup at the Big Train Show at the Queen Mary in
Long Beach.
I know that a lot of you visit My Largescale.com, but many probably do not.
I have posted a number of pictures there and so have a few others.
The steamup was a resounding success this year. In fact if it gets any
bigger I am going to have to get another track! This year they moved us to the
parking lot along with a couple of other sparkie displays. It was so much better
to be there and I was able to sneak my trailer in right next to the track.
There were at least 25 participants running various trains. Track time was at
a premium, but all were civil about their runs. Accucraft ran their
prototypes of the three cylinder shay, the C-21, and the Mogul. These will all be
very
affordable engines and from what I saw they all ran almost flawlessly.
So, if you would like to see some great pictures of the event, go to MLS to
the live steam forum and click away!
