Mid-South Fall meet photos
Here are some pictures that we took at the Mid-South Live Steamers fall meet, Sept 28-30.
The first picture is off a beautiful propane fired Central Pacific 4-4-0. It couldn't pull much because it weighs only 200lbs, but it really looks nice.
The second picture is of a light 4-6-2 that is propane fired.
The third picture is off a Southern Railroad Ps-4 4-6-2, this locomotive was purchased by its current owner in need of a complete rebuild. They have gotten it running, but they had problems with the timing not being set right on it.
The fourth picture is of a 3T shay, a 4-4-2, and a 4-6-0 in the steaming bays.
The fifth and sixth pictures are of my train. I had a hard time when the track got slick pulling 3 cars with 2-3 people up the 4.5-5% grades. Coming down was also interesting.....
The last picture is of my sister driving a good freind's Sw 1200. She had a good time. Although she doesn't much care to drive my steam locmotive or his 4-6-2. She likes the diesels.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
