Thanks for the video. I had a great time at the meet as did everyone else that attended I'm sure. Outstanding craftsmanship on the engines and rolling stock and especially a really nice group of participants.
The BN bicentennial and the Santa Fe warbonnet both looked mighty fine. The Shay was amazing. I can hardly imagine the amount of precision machining that went into that one. Outstanding work by all.
SP 1171 brings to mind a few things read about some SP switchers employed at passenger terminals having boiler jackets in any one of several different hues. I like that idea. ☺ The other 2 old timers and that one little very old timer were also appealing.
Seeing that dual gauge track gives me hope for my 1.5`` scale narrow gauge dreams. The local clubs in my state didn't even bat an eye when I talked about adding 4.75`` track to the club layouts attract (no pun intended) a wider variety of live steam enthusiasts.
Yes its modeled after the GN . It was a compound but is a simple now cause we couldnt get it right it would lock up the front cylinders untill it got warm. It runs amazing

Liked seeing the WP equipment (especially the #259). Great video.

It is a point of interest how classy that ATSF warbonnet livery looks after, what, 80 years? from its origin.
Love to see that 2-8-8-2!!

That 2-8-8-2 is incredible! I'd buy her in a heartbeat if ever I could get up the 100 or so grand to make an offer.
Great video! So bummed I had to miss this… Spring meet though!!!
Real art crafts

Good video, like!
Wish i was there
I have two questions about the 2-6-6-2.
1. Is it an actual compound?
2. Is it Great Northern?
