When looking through the 'thirteen pounds' of photos recently, from the Harry Dixon collection, that I received for my West Coast Live Steam book, I found an interesting shot of the late Gordon Corwin's famed Fruit Growers Supply Co. # 7 SHAY... It was the CHASSIS only, operating on steam at the old track of GGLS in Oakland's Redwood Regional Park.
The guy at left in coveralls is Gordon Corwin. To the right, is the late GGLS member Louis Lawrence. Photo circa 1951 (approx) (I think)...

Re: Gordon Corwin Revisited
Thanks, I remember seeing this photo. He is running it around the track on compressed air from the tank behind it.
