The following are the results from the Drawbar Pulling Contest at the International Small Scale Steam-Up at Diamondhead, Mississippi held Saturday January 17, 2004. The pulling device used was the one designed by Bruce Gathman as written up in Steam in the Garden magazine and measures in ounces of pull from the drawbar. 2 Driver CLass 1st Bob McHale 7/8ths BAGRS "Wood Thing" 20.3 2nd Murray Wilson 1936 Marklin 6.8 4 Driver Class 1st Karl Oelschlaeger Roundhouse Millie 39.8 2nd Gerald Miller Roundhouse Forney 34.5 6 Driver Class 1st Peter Oelschlaeger Roundhouse Gunga Din 52.2 2nd Tim Chamberlain Cheddar Baldwin 41.7 3rd Ernie Noa Roundhouse Old Colonial 34.9 8 Driver Class 1st Bob Weltyk Accucraft K-27 109 2nd Dick Jacobs Accucraft C-16 65.9 3rd Steve Heselton Accucraft C-16 64.8 4th David Bailey DJB C-25 Coal 49.6 Smaller Gauges 1st Brian Gibson Bassett Lowke Mogul 13.9 2nd Bill Shipp "Coffee Pot" 13.8 3rd Jerry Reshew Regner HO 1.1 Geared Locomotives 1st Joe Hall Accucraft 3Cyl Shay 127 2nd Chris Sortina Accucraft 2Cyl Shay 95.5 3rd Bill Payne Aster Climax 87.8 4th Al Bowyer Accucraft 3Cyl Shay 83.5 5th Al Sadler Aster WM Shay 66.0 As the saying goes - "Shay - Gears Rule"! Although not weighing nearly as much as the K-27 the new Accucraft 3 cylinder Shay out pulled it by about 15%. Many owners made numerous excuses for their poor performance but the results do not lie. A couple of the winners were the same as last year and need some competition. The three wins and you are out rule may come into effect next year. Start tuning now for next years competition.
