We (the CALS) were asked by Baltimore city to set up on a sidewalk a couple of times in the early 1980s. We were trying to get access to build a club track in Carroll Park at the time. Didn’t work out, but we were offered a location in Leakin Park a year or so later.
I remember running my brother’s Tich for hours pulling the local kids.

Thank you so much, Dick, for locating and re-posting the former YouTube video.

Referring briefly to previous comments about Now vs. Then, another striking difference noted from those earlier days is the engineer's bare hands! I am from the wonderful era of that video, and we never wore gloves then - a policy that seems completely reversed today. Maybe we were just igorant, or perhaps we knew how to take care of ourselves around steam.

Anyway, the video is a reminder that you don't need miles of track on an elabnorate layout to have shear enjoyment with live steam!
