I1's on the L&N EK Division

I have no real backstory to explain how a pair of Pennsy I1sa decapods (all retired by the end of 1957; all but one scrapped), shiny and new looking with their original (1917) banshee whistles shrieking, would show up on the L&N Eastern Kentucky Division in 1971. But, here they are, providing through running "eye candy" during a charity event held by Gary Siegel and his wife Marilyn.

Gorgeous scenery Gary, some of the best proportioned I have ever seen on any layout. As a youngster, I used to spend summers back east and traveled by train extensively; the only thing missing was the humidity. J.D. Huey

@Yohanan6009 - Gary has even managed to replicate the humidity at times, when the AC stops working. Even had a nice rain shower over Kyles Ford once, when the overhead ductwork failed. Added to the weathering of the ground quite nicely, but I wouldn't recommend trying that as a normal technique.

I'll pass your comments along to Gary, J.D. Thanks!
