Hi Dave,
I'm very familiar with Washakum! My grandfather and I used to go to quite a few meets before we started building our own railroad.

And just guessing by your handle that you are into Lego?  Me too!  I've got quite a large collection of it.  I used to be WAY more into it. Was part of one of the original LTCs (Lego Train Clubs) and used to show our ever-changing train layout at various events. That was a great hobby to share with my kids as they were growing up.  And while I still love lego, I'm looking more at downsizing my Lego collection now.

Does seem like you have a good list of projects there! And it's funny how that list just continues to grow  ;)
Looking forward to following your builds!

Kim

I definitely did not build it ;D It was built up in Canada by a guy named Jim Turnbull. In his lifetime, I'm pretty sure he was able to build 36 locos! It made it's way around New England and it was eventually sold to us by a guy we met at Washakum Live Steamers. I don't know how many other hands it passed through but it spent quite a bit of time at Pioneer Valley Live Steamers.

I used to be very much into Lego and the handle goes all the way back to middle school. My main interest back then was making vacuum powered stationary "steam" engines.

The project list never stops!
