Office of Steam Forum for Model & Toy Steam Gas & Hot Air Engines

I'm very fortunate,  I live 10 miles from one of the largest steam shows in a tri state area , we usually have 30-40 live full size steamers every year & the show is very well participated and growing every year. They take very good care of me.

Are you talking about Portland, IN.? I've been there, that was a two day fun time for me.
A friend and I went down there and came back with two H&Ms, 5hp, and a 3 1/2hp, and a steamer.
The Cicadas were bad that year.
