>Thankyou Larry, Gary, Fran and John, I like the ideas being presented, the name too, John: "Jefferson Live Steamers" for us railroaders in Northern California and Southern Oregon?? We should say North Northern California as many folks think of Northern California as the Bay area but we are 300 miles North. The steamers and their steam ups in the Bay/Sacramento area are great and I would love to attend but I'd like something closer. I do Sacramento, of course, there is NO option!
I could also host a small steamup, elevated double track about 100 feet circumference, minimum radii 11', more or less, also a ground level garden railway in the middle, Then there is a 3-1/2"- 4-3/4" around the house. My small lot is nothing but rails. Right, I have an understanding wife! Larry has a very attractive garden railway too just about 5 miles away. Of course, Brookings or even Crescent City would be more central for all. We could have day steam ups without the necessity of an overnight stay for most of us, that option would be open. A comment for Bert: I am so sorry you had damage to your railway, I hope the ruins can be raised from the ashes (icicles) without too much work. Hope you enjoyed the Sisheim event in Germany.!
