Thanks to all that came and shared. We had a great time as always. Lots of high line action and the traction engine was great treat to run as well. And a special call out to the volunteers who feed us as well.

The photo of "Miss Lizzy running Sparkie" would make a great advertising pic!
Thanks for sharing all the photos. It's good to see the "smaller" gauges in operation.
They have significant advantages over the "hernia gauges." I might find myself enjoying them in my future.

one thing about "hernia gauge" engines and cars...you usually have hydraulic lifts and or "tailgate bridges" for loading and unloading.
but, the little engines and cars are mostly lifted by hand (on carriers) from track to auto...grunt work!
I have both 3/4" (a Pacific) and 1-1/2" (an 0-4-0) and the little guy is more work!
That said, the high-line stuff is a blast! All sizes are great fun. Or, should I say grate fun.
