The locomotive is in
focus, even if James Ritson is not. I'm sure he
understands. |

Another of James'
locos, "Sir Morgan", consumes a steady diet of coal. |

Roundhouse Fowler put out a great plume considering the
relative warmth indoors. |

Roundhouse really
does a great job with all their engines. |

I believe this is an
Accucraft Garrat. |

.In case the trains
and tracks weren't enough to tell you where you were... |

It is truly
an international event. |

The BAGRS project is
now more than 12 years old |

This is the original
chassis with an experimentally ported motor I built.
I also brought the original (albeit refurbished) motor
from the Midwest Model VI kit that is the basis for the
original design. |

Sadly, the original
steam motor for the BAGRS prototype went missing at this
year's steamup. It may have been wrapped in
bubblewrap. I last saw it Saturday night. It
is easily identified with the steel crankshaft and
crankpin, separate cylinder head, and the setscrew added
to the flywheel. While it has little monetary value, it
has great sentimental value. Please
contact me if you
have any information concerning its whereabouts. |
