Riverside Live Steamers 2010 Spring Meet (pt. 1)

There were several of us from the Los Angeles Live Steamers who went to the Riverside Live Steamers 2010 Spring Meet on April 24th. With us we brought three steam engines and a trailer full of cars. The meet seemed rather quiet as we were the only ones with visiting trains but it was a great meet with good people, good trains, good running, and great fun!

Holy shit!!! 21 cars behind that berk?! No one at NEOLS will run with anything more than 5 or 6 cars behind our trains.

@765Genobreaker yeah thats a pretty decent train... but sometimes when we are just playing around we will pull more like a 36 car train. and what does NEOLS stand for????

@ELBARTO3519 Northeastern Ohio Live Steamers, what scale is that berk?? I'm assuming it's a Real Trains model?

[ELBARTO3519]

@765Genobreaker 1.5" scale and yes it is a Real Trains

[765Genobreaker]

Holy!!!! 18 cars behind that berk?! Wow no one at NEOLS won't run with anything more than 5 or 6 cars.

[ELBARTO3519]

ya it was heavy and this was the first time they had run the engine because it was brand new and the weight of the engine was not properly distributed.

That must be one heavy train, to make a NKP Berkshire slip like that. Perhaps the tracks were damp?
