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

14 years ago we sold an engine on ebay and were invited by the buyer to the first show at Ken & Patti Eder's place.

It was mind boggling. There were more steam traction engines than I had ever seen in one man's collection. There was also a collection of Rumely Oil Pull tractors and some big plains tractors including a real rare Oliver.

We also attended the third show 2 years kater and the place was still growing. Below, as time for editing allows, i will post some videos and a few pictures.

Right now we are just ovef half way through the 750 mile drive back home.

Here is dinner at a private collector's engine shed about 40 minutes from the show.

Hi Chris, Yes they have the Lansing 4WD traction engine. They weren't running it but you will see it in one of the videos.
That is a really cool model of the 4WD that you built.

They ran the giant Daniel Best tricycle traction engine.

I eagerly await watching the videos!

Is this the show that has the Lansing 4 wheel drive steam Traction Engine in the shed?
