Man o' live, impressive set up. Would love to see a video.
Your not kidding Scott. Inge those are beautiful. You do have video's right? Such detail.
Yes, I have some videos, but still trying to learn how to prep them so they will post
Great looking engines - I'll just get in line to see the forthcoming videos!
Love that third one, I really need to make it to the St. Croix Railroad
Oh My Goodness ... those are fantastic plus!
Yes Please Videos ;c)
Love the Shay ..... love them all!!!
Fantastic Inge.
It is difficult to tell the Gauge of the engines looking at the pictures.
Are they all Gauge 1?
Can you provide more details of the Makers and Provenance?
Thank you for participating in GPU 2020. 🤠
Inge, what an amazing collection of Live Steam Locomotives, you must be very proud of them. I love the Shay, one of my favorite designs.
All of the above are 4-3/4" gauge, I ride on the tender, except for the Shay which requires a riding car. Top engine is a Little Engines Pacific, built by a guy in Wisconsin in the 1980's, coal fired. The copper jacketed engine is also a Little Engines Pacific, coal fired, built by a guy in the 1970's in Minnesota. The 2 cylinder Shay is propane fired, scratch built by a friend in Minnesota from plans furnished by a guy in Michigan. The 2-4-4-2 articulated was built by 2 guys in Minnesota who worked on it, from their own plans, starting in 1974, completed in 2010, and is also propane fired. The prototype for this engine is a Baldwin, which was recently restored and runs on the Oregon Coast RR, and goes by the name of "Skookum" (Google it).

Awesome. Thank you for the reply.
Do you have a home railway?
I would love to visit. Our closest railway is the Houston Area Live Steamers. I have a visit planned this summer.
I have 5 Gauge 1 Locomotives and three O Gauge Locomotives. Sadly, mine run mostly on blocks. I recently bought a 1905 Farm House in the country which I am restoring. It will eventually have a Railway.
that wonderful turn table has some awesome locomotive, top
Awesome. Thank you for the reply.

The railway he runs at is just over an hour from my house
I need to visit too!
Charlie, you need to get your railway built so I can make a trip down to Texas
Nothing less than ...FANTASTIC...!!!
Love the last one ... the 2-4-4-2
