Mark's new locomotive arrives at the Southern California Live Steamers in Torrance, CA. After unloading it is steamed up for it's first run. The club 4-4-0 American was already steamed up and out on the track. Rory brought out his 0-4-0 and started getting it steamed up which shamed Tom into bringing out his Forney and steam it up. Todd came down with his family and brought his 4-4-2 Atlantic and steamed it up. We had 5 Steam engines running around the tracks on December 27th, 2009. A new club record for most steamers at one time.
This was not a planned event. Let us hope that it becomes the norm. It was a real hoot. This video shows some of the folks getting ready and having a great time out on the tracks.
