Steamup at Bob Trabucco's Los Altos, California November 18, 2006

Bob opened up his layout again for the BAGRS and PCLS steamers.  As usual, we had a great time.  Tom King and Jeff Williams were nearly speechless when they discovered that David Cole and your correspondent both ran their engines - on the same day!

Plenty of plume coming from this Accucraft Shay.

Steve Heselton has a real knack for authentic weathering.

Bob's track allows for operation of multiple trains.

Here's my 7/8th scale logging engine and monster boxcar.

Tennis anyone?

Bob (our host) looks on as Tony prepares the Roundhouse Elsa.

I probably don't have to tell you that it runs like a clock.
