We were able to add 5 more final photos reported from the 2010 SP Historical Society Convention. NMRA 2011 National Convention "X2011 West" Facebook web page They are of Southern Pacific live steam at the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers, who were running for the SP Convention attendees on 10/2/10. One cool sample: Dig that live steam Cab-Forward!! The Sacramento Valley Live Steamers ( Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum (SVLSRM) ) will be open during the NMRA National Convention "X2011 West" - July 3-9, 2011. You can see many years of photos from SVLS at: Yungling Photography -- Donald Yungling : Live Steam : SVLS and Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum (SVLSRM) Photo by Evan Werkema. Thx, Evan, for sharing these photos with us (and for your many years of rail photo contributions in many places) Hope all of you have enjoyed our attempts to keep you updated on some major model railroad activities, live, as they happen. We'll be doing the same for you at NMRA Nationals 2011 "X2011 West" in Sacramento.
Hi, BoxcabE50, I wish I knew what she sounded like, I wasn't there. But judging by the following photos by other members of the Sacramento Valley Live Steamers: Yungling Photography -- Donald Yungling : Live Steam : SVLS and Sacramento Valley Live Steamers Railroad Museum (SVLSRM) Here's another view of that live steam SP Cab Forward, from the first URL above: http://www.pbase.com/atsf_arizona/image/129419671.jpg Photo is by Donald Yungling. It must sound great. I hope I get to see it next year 2011 in Sacramento at the NMRA Nationals.
