Live Steam Models -- recent pix

[RobertInOntario]

My family and I have recently visited two live steam model events. One (last week) was at the Golden Horseshoe Live Steamers in Hamilton at the Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://old.hamilton.ca/myhamilton/CityandGovernment/CultureandRecreation/Arts_Culture_And_Museums/HamiltonCivicMuseums/Events/SteamMuseum.asp?site=STEAM">http://old.hamilton.ca/myhamilton/Citya ... site=STEAM</a><!-- m -->)

I'm uploading a few pics of this event. Being a British train modeler & enthusiast, I was happy to see that more than half of the locos running were British models! My favourite was an LNER Atlantic but there was also a British Railways 0-6-0 Tank engine, as well as a large British diesel, a Great Western (a County, I think) as well as others.

My sons were really getting into this so today, the family and I drove north to the Oak Ridges Moraine and visited the Richmond Hill Live Steamers (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.geocities.com/richmondhill_livesteam/">http://www.geocities.com/richmondhill_livesteam/</a><!-- m -->)and enjoyed some excellent rides on their property, which is in a very nice hardwood forest. We plan to go again in September when more locos should be running.
