I have ambitious plans for the weekend.

All of my videos will be uploaded to my initial post. So, check back often.

If you have not subscribed to my YouTube Channel, please use this weekend to do so. I will subscribe to every members channel that participate in GPU 2021.

My Channel:

https://youtube.com/channel/UCwbKFHuYsK5h0ADq0Ks1h7g

First up is a Circa 1900 rare Ernst Plank engine and accessory combo. It is listed in the 1902 EP Catalog.



Second up is my annual Steam Collection Tour:



Third up is a video of some of my favorite Steam Toys all being driven by the Tarot Sterling Engine from Banggood. For $130 it is a great value.



My final video for GPU 2021 is my first steam-up of the Bing 4158/11 which I bought from Scott in February of 2018. RIP Scott.

Charlie, that was one heck of a fine production to kick off what is undoubtedly going to be one mighty amazing table!

Thank you Doug T; Daniel and Nick.

I just finished my annual steam collection tour video and am uploading it to my table now.

Oh my gosh Charlie, how did you find time to shoot a video with all those magnificent toys all around.
If they weren't so expensive and fragile, I'd rake em into a pile and jump in.
Great table Charlie.

Thanks Tommy.  To illustrate how much the collection has grown, here is a video on April 23, 2017.  In the video I state that I had ~35 engines.  I got my first engine for Christmas 2016 from my wife (a Weeden 702) and four months later I had ~35.  A present she has regretted giving me ever since.   ;D

Yes Charlie, it's a sickness.  That special engine that you didn't know where else to put it.
It needs to be up front or by his cousins, the Weeden's. I have part of a Peerless, picked up
some of the engine but most importantly, that massive "S" spoked flywheel. It's hiding somewhere
in a box so who's worse.

I was having a senior moment. Yes, it is a peerless in mint condition. I still need to steam it some day.

From your house to mine is only 889 miles/14 hours. You could be here in less than a day. A chip shot for you. 🤠

Charlie, you have to fire it up. This is the weekend to do it. I've never seen one run.
OK Charlie, if you don't want to steam up your Peerless, then sell it to me and you won't
have to. Put all the blame on me, it's the least I could for ya.

I do need to steam it, but it won’t be this weekend.

I have a Toy Show set up to film and edit in the morning.

And it is nit for sale. 🤠

You are welcome Bruce.

I hope you and Angie get to visit some day.

I feel like a dark cloud has been lifted now that I have been vaccinated.

I am ready for a Road Trip. 🤠
