 * Carl Herrera now owns this engine . He has totally restored it to its original beauty. He spent many hours repiping and repairing worn out parts . The purple paint is still the original paint but most of the black paint is new.

 * The Shay really looks great, I remember it from when Francis Mosley owned it, was pleased to see you even have the cable wrapped around the sand dome.

Gordon Corwin Meets
From The Miniature Locomotive, July/August 1953

By C. S. Chovil, Secretary, Southern California Live Steamers

The Gordon Corwin annual picnic and engine meet proved very popular with S.C.L.S.. the attendance was more than in the past years, the day was perfect and the tracks of the SUNKIST LINES in good condition. Many members brought their lunches as invited, came early and stayed until the last boiler was blown down. The roster of locomotives was as follows: Jim Keith's 1 inch scale Hudson; Barny Shrive's 3/4 inch scale N.Y.C. Niagara; Irene Lewis's 1 inch scale six-wheel switcher operated by Bob Harpur;  Milton Uhler's 3/4 inch Tom Thumb;  John Matthew's 3/4 inch English Shunting engine "Pug";  Burt Petersen's 3/4 inch Northern;  Bill wightman's 3/4 inch 2-4-4 tank engine; Andy Wightman's 3/4 inch Mogul and J.D. Hillyard's 3/4 inch Atlantic.
