Here is a picture of me relaxing with a friend and my Maisie at GGLS.

Time to get this thread going again!

I agree!
Working on an OS Porter Mogul which I'm converting to a western style Baldwin. I can't believe I found this absolutely untouched original kit a few years ago. Every bag was still intact.

Well Steve, I believe she resides in my shop right now here in Lenox IA.Steve Bratina wrote: ↑Sat Oct 29, 2011 8:19 pm I was looking through some old magazines during the week and trying to find a certain picture. It took a while but I got her. The guy with the Harwick mentioned that he had no history on it. I was wondering, since engines go through rebuilds and slight changes, if this could have been that engine in an earlier time. If not, I wonder what ever became of Mr Burtt's engine?

Built in the early 1980's between the ages of 13 and 16, some pictures of my Rob Roy, a 3/4" scale Caledonian Railway dock shunter.

LBSC Petrolea built by Nels Burtt, finished in 1948. ONels Burtt quickly sold the loco to George Murray (1908-2001) of Manchester CT who resold it to Pershing Scott (1919-2002) of Cedar Rapids IA around 1953. In 2018 I purchased this, along with many letters between Murray and Scotty.

Should have added, now resides in Lenox IA. When I purchased it, took a few hours work to clean everything and make a few repairs. This winter I made a new axle pump plunger too. Waiting on warmer weather for another test run.

I should probably just build one after I finish my Juliet.

A little locomotive with 4 wheels on the track is a lot more fun
than a 1/2 finished one with 16 wheels on the bench!
