Their size doesn't bother my friend at all. With a large building, truck and trailer, forklift, engine lift, and pallet jacks he moves them around with ease. Too big for me though.

I’ve had many full-size steam friends tell me to become friends with engine owners and play with their toys instead, cheaper and easier  :D

Thanks for the video Brent. Would be fun to have one of these engines, but a collection of them would probably be a lot of work! Not too easy to move around or store  :D

Thanks for sharing the event, Brent. That is a magnificent beast.


Also ....  nice Otto behind it!
And by the looks of things a few more interesting pieces may be lurking in the shadows.
