Old video and pics, but worth sharing again  8)

My favorite was the Holt shown on the youtube preview... he didn't want to run it long without the radiator:

Some Beautiful engines were on display  8)  The builder had taken first place at NAMES a few years back, but no longer travels for shows









I talked with him for quite awhile and he new my grandpa's cousin who also built and displayed model engines. He remembered that the castings for the Stuart beam came from Cole's Power Models.

We sat and watched the blacksmith for awhile. He started to say, "whoever can say I am the..." and I jumped in and said "You are the best blacksmith in the world!" And he handed me this little sword we watched him make  ;D ;D
