The Finger Lakes Live Steamers 50th Anniversary Meet will be August 1-4, 2019 and is open to all live steam and train enthusiasts. This meet will be closed to the public. All visitors must register between now and June 28, 2019, to attend.
The club is located in Marengo, New York, halfway between Rochester and Syracuse on 12 scenic acres near the rural communities of Clyde and Lyons.
We have three different railroads: 7-1/4", 4-3/4" and Gauge One. All of the tracks have been expanded and improved in recent years.
Visiting steam locomotives must have a current club or state boiler certificate.

I'm planning a couple of special treats for the 50th at FLLS. We are trying to get our 1930's George the fifth running by then. It's a Bassett Lowke 4-4-0 English engine that was the first engine to introduce superheating in the early part of the century.

I would also like to host a reunion of all 7.25 0-4-0 camelbacks at the 50th meet.

Update, we won't have the George V ready until next summer. We dropped the chassis off with Marty this week so he could make sure the new boiler will fit.
