MEMBERS AND THEIR EQUIPMENT

Post by Steven E. Kuhn »

Here is my member photo and equipment. Someone suggested this on another thread. Putting a face to a name. How about it, share you and yours!! I'd like to see what you have. Seems like I tried his once before.....

Ten-Wheeler #601 C & NW built by John Darby formerly a member of Riverside Live Steamers.

The locomotive doesn’t belong to me……but it is still fun to run!

Here’s both of mine on the steaming bay yesterday. A Buckwalter 2.5in scale shay and a SwitcherRoo dressed up to look like a 2.5in scale 8 ton Whitcomb.

An early photo of me at the controls of my F7. At the time, I had just finished the mechanical work on the body.

The below photo is my buddy Ray and me at Eagle Point Railroad in Dunlap TN in October 2018—a very interesting railroad, by the way. At the time, I was still recovering from multiple surgeries from earlier in the year. I wasn't going to let that stop me from getting in some run time! :D

Since that photo was taken, Ray has refinished his GP50 in B&O livery.

You're strangely absent from the photo. How about adding a picture of you?

Ah, good catch! Brain fart I guess. Anyway, here’s me on my shay double heading with Chuck Hackett on his back in the spring.

Here's a photo of 0-4-0T Harley and me, we're members of the Golden Gate Live Steamers (GGLS) near Berkeley, CA.

I've also been in the process of taking photos of engineers with their locomotives in our club.
