Ed - Leetown is a great place to catch some great looking steamers.

Going with the steam theme. Here is this weekend's run by lead by my Mantua New York Ontario & Western 2-8-2 Camelback. I finally got the couplers changed over. I used a Kadee #148 on the tender. On the loco the screw holding the hook and horn coupler was stripped and there was no hope of removing it. I had to cut the coupler off. Since I do not plan to use the coupler I took an Bachmann EZ-mate coupler and trimmed it to fit and glued in place.
