Thanks for the NMRA Steam Roster, Benn! It’s really nice to have it all at
one glance. Makes one wish there was some sort of LEGO Steam Engine link
list somewhere (is there?)... but I don’t wish there was one because then
someone would suggest I make it and I’m just not willing. :)
There were a few more steam engines than I had mentally counted... but still
they were outnumbered... a true shame. But they made a fine showing! Had I
thought about it sooner I would have tried to find someone to whom I could
have mailed a few steam engines for the display. Maybe next year I’ll look
into that. Better yet... if things improve in my personal life, I may just
be able to attend a Brickworld or an NMRA (or both!).

My ten-wheeler with a Sava/BBB inspired pilot (more to come on this
locomotive)
|
Wow... I’ve been straining my eyes to get a better look at this one and I had
a hand in its’ inspiration? And to think I was looking for inspiration from
it... (I still plan to).

Well, after building my Hiawatha last year I threw in the steam engine towel for
a while. The locomotive ran fine at home, but couldn’t take the bumpy track we
have at shows and it dirtied the track like no tomorrow. Then I saw what you and
Ben Fleskes came up with for splitting what should be the pilot truck. Well,
that got me back in the steam game. I’ve just uploaded my detailed shots of the
tenwheeler (they are off of my main brickshelf, under NP,
Full Gallery). I’ll post
to lugnet separately about the engine in a few days, but yes, it incorporates
great ideas from you and several other people. It is a good runner.

A Michigan Big Boy (Steve X?)
|
I’ve seen a lot of pictures of this one, I wish I could have seen it in
person to watch it negotiate turns.
|
Here’s a shot of the Big Boy in a turn. It ran for many hours and pulling a real
train. This locomotive is an engineering feat.

Ross’s Polar Express
|
I *HAVE* to attend an event where the Neals are in attendance so we can put
our Polar Express together and have a BiPolar time. That is, of course, only
after I am able to do the redesign I want to perform on my Polar Express
passenger wagons.

Be sure to bring your lithium (grin).
