Well, Nick was at it again, we stayed for clean up after the show this past weekend. Nick is the hardest worker there, they are lucky to have him. I claim old age for not getting in the firebox, although I did pull ash and punch the tubes on 4 of them.
I fired for Nick as he ran a big 30 hp twin cylinder Minneapolis on the sawmill. She was a brute. We also drove the Minneapolis thru the parade.
Was great to have you there Jeff!! Your help is greatly appreciated, many like to play, but not too many stay to help… There are some very good/hard workers that keep the place going, I don’t deserve the credit for that.
We need a couple more of you to attend the May steam school next year, then work the August show.
C’mon up Charlie
@txlabman get in that Advanced Class Chris
@CBWho Here’s the big Minnie that Jeff and I got to play on (Engine #6741 from late 1911, one of the last five doubles they made)
