Hi All,
I am writing the material to present at BricksWest in the Train Session and
need some help. If you have a steam engine built can you send me a URL to
pics of it. And please don't be shy.
BTW This isn't a competition or anything I just would like to show a ton of
these engines in the presentation. Some of the best and innovative details
are often buried or obscured so perhaps outline what's novel about it.
Oh yeah assume that this might be show, I will try my best to pre-warn
(contact) and acknowledge the designers/builders
One more thing. This might be the start of a good list of links for Steam
engines. I'll see where that goes upon my return from BricksWest. See You There!
Thanks,
SteveB

| Steve, you're welcome to use my Atlantic as well. It's one of the first (if not the first) steam engines to be used in actual daily railroad operations. Some 20 were built in the 1830s, and many ran until the 1890s(!). As you may remember, the other (...) (23 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.trains)
