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.
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 ;) ;)
I want to go visit it when I come up for your show.

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.

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. 🤠
