Crabs
In Sacramento, we did a group project of crabs from barstock. The only castings we used were for the wheels. Total cost for each engine was about $1300. Those who didn't have shop equipment came over to those who did, and some parts were made in production style. Eight were started, and four have be...

Just Ask
Bill and the rest are right on. I know Live Steam has a full set of issues that they can copy from if they don't have originals that they can sell you. (I know they do because I sent Clover the missing issues from the mimeograph days to fill their collection.) Just ask. It is worth it not only to ha...

Small Scales Meet 2010 Possible Dates?
As some have seen in the coverage of the SSM 09, we had an outstanding turnout. We had over 23 engines running and at least another 11 on display or under construction. With that kind of turnout, we not only will definately have another meet in 2010, we will make it so we can run two days! So before...

SSM 2009
Well the first GGLS Small Scales Meet (or SSM as Bob called it) for the west coast is now history. For those that didn’t come, don’t ask how it was or look at any more pictures on the subject….you’ll feel like you missed out, which you did. What a BLAST!! We had at least 15 engines there (still need...

The no host Pizza run will include all the pizza we can buy and drinks as well. Still working out the final cost, but it will be no more than $10 a head it looks like and probably less. I have chili for 65-75 people and rolls to go along with it, so there should be enough. I can't say enough great t...

Weather forecast for Saturday right now is just about perfect. 58 for the low in the morning and 69 for the high with partly cloudy skies. There may be some morning fog, but you never know at the top of the mountain. We will have some of John K's castings from Friends Yankee Shop that he sent to sho...

Valve Handles
I got mine from PM Research. They didn't list them, but gave me a price (I think I paid $.50 a piece) and sent them to me after payment.

Wow, the meet is now less than a week away. I can't believe how much interest there is in the small scales out west, and the buzz is far beyond my expectations. Remember, the meet is Saturday only due to a conflict on Sunday with the track being closed, but stay as late as you want including night r...
