Here's
a shot of Bob Trabucco's Catatonk Climax and Shay
together. Mike Chaney
does a great job building these beauties. |
|
 |
The
trackwork is well thought out, and well done. |
|
 |
Here's
Dwight Ennis' new Accucraft C-16. Great looking
engine. |
|
 |
Just
when we thought live-steamers under 40 were getting
scarce, a new generation is getting into the act. |
|
 |

|
 |
Bob
Trabucco's maintenance car is a real head turner. |
|
 |
It
is quite convincing - even up close. Nice work
Bob! |
|
 |
No,
it's still not done. it seems my home improvement
projects are suffering from scope creep, leaving no time
for modeling. See more of the Crampton
here. |

Jeff
