Definitely.
I have plenty of room for guests.
I have ended up with three houses (9 bedrooms total).
-
Yeah, but Charlie, you still have the ranch house to "decorate"!!! ;c)
Actually, my plan is to build a new shop and move most of the collection to the new Man Cave.
The plan is to start the construction in 2025.
I'm sure that will be really something. will this be at the Plano house? ?
No. At my Ranch.
Awesome news Charlie!!! Are you adding a living quarters to the shed so I can be your live in collection caretaker? :D :D
He'd better make it a double so I can be the relief curator/caretaker!!! ;c)
Hmmm...
Perhaps a triple.... allowing for 3 shifts worth of volunteers!
Sounds like we need to organize a meetup at Charlie’s when the shed is finished! Would sure be a fun time!!
-
Figure out the space you'll need, then double it.
Good advice Brent.
I did exactly that when I built my barn and it still is to small.

With Charlie's rate of accumulation since he came on the scene .... perhaps he'd better quadruple it!?!? ;c)

What are you going to do when you’re home?!? You gotta have engines to play with!

I got a Swiffer Duster, and I ain't afraid to use it.(https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji888.png)(https://emoji.tapatalk-cdn.com/emoji946.png)

Finally had a chance to stop by your table Charlie, I am glad the steam bug bit you hard ;) I only wish you were closer, I would stop by often!! Very jealous of how well you’re able to display your collection even if you feel your space is limited in the garage
Thanks Nick. I do have the office and the Weeden cabinet in the Family Room. I am definitely not getting any further real estate in the house.

Thanks again to everyone for your kind comments.
I really enjoyed viewing all of the participants tables.
Thanks to Nick for taking the lead on the organization and for executing the first Live Stream by a Forum Member.

Thanks Tommy.
I frequently get lost out there for hours on end.
The best thing I ever did was put in a mini-split A/C unit.
I have a TV, Bluetooth Speaker, WiFi, a comfy chair and all of my toys.
And the bathroom is right inside the door. ;D
-
A guy could get lost in there, better pack a couple of lunch's.
Just amazing.
-
Charlie, the trajectory of your collection, since that first video seven years ago to where you are now is nothing short of EXPONENTIAL!
Makes me infinitely sad that I'll not be trying to sneak in a visit with you next month, which I've never mentioned to you before now, due to uncertain circumstances prevailing, but perhaps someday I will make the pilgrimage which I truly wish to do with all my heart!!!
-
Thanks to all for your comments!
-
Spectacular collection, Charlie. Thanks for posting the photos.
-
There really is no words for Charlie's collection, it is overwhelming looking over the photos. Its like a history museum of steam!
-
Superb GPU show tables, Charlie...!!!
You have an absolutely amazing collection!
Mrs RedRyder and I have got to visit one day.

I think I'm steam drunk looking at this collection...& a bit dizzy as well. you have one of the fasted growing collections that I have seen (Crazy Doug is probably 2nd...lol) I remember a time where nearly everything was heading to Texas or Pennsylvania. :)
it'll take me some time to process all of these beauty's Charlie...so I'll be back many times, I'm sure. I know one thing; I'm liking that cast press that's on top of that nice wooden case. I would love to see this collection in person some day.

Bonjour Charlie,
To say that I thought I was crazy... But it's good to have a passion ;)
-
An Oldie but a Goodie there Charlie!
