	In a film made about his basement layout, Vic is shown working on his six-inch Atlas lathe which together with his Atlas drill press seems to have constituted the extent of his machine shop. Compare that to the shop equipment of some of our present club members! Whatever the lack of equipment may seem to imply, Vic turned out a series of beautifully built engines in ½" and ¾" scales.

(circa-1952) When the club first moved into the Regional Park System, there was not too much activity going on for the public to enjoy. So as not to upset the Park authorities, my Victor started bringing additional equipment from his basement live steam layout to entertain the public and keep the park authorities happy. This train was professionally photographed in 16mm and shown to the Southern Pacific Board of Directors in San Francisco. They wanted to know where the "picture of the freight train was taken". They were told: "Up in the Park !" NO-- we mean the freight train!! UP in the Park!! The BOD had the film run again. That's how real it looked!

	As interest grew it became clear that an outdoor track where larger passenger hauling engines could run was a desirable goal, although full achievement of that goal was many years down the road. In the meanwhile several temporary outdoor installations were built. One notable example was for Southern Pacific and the Yardmaster’s Association on 74th Avenue in Oakland. An 80 foot track was installed where an engine ran back and forth hauling children, succeeding at least in part to bring the existence of the club to the public’s attention. Club member Larry Duggan wore himself out lifting children on-and-off the riding cars.

	Victor was born in Culmstock, Devonshire, England on December 20, 1886 one of five children of James and Lavinia Shattock. Victor was born in “Bridge House” located on the river Culm immediately next to a railroad track. Possibly a sign of what the future would have for the young infant, James worked as a station master on the Great Western Railway for some 47 years (1878 - 1925). He worked at a number of railway stations but the two that he was predominantly at the longest of his career were DUNBALL and DURSTON. His brother Harry Shattock (Vic’s uncle) was an Inspector on the GWR Exeter Branch. When Vic was still in his teens, he started working in one of the Engineering Offices of the GWR and stayed with them for approximately three years. He was eventually trained as a Tinsmith (plumber) by his maternal uncle John Smith.

	In September 1906 Victor married Maude Alice Drake, the oldest of eleven children who lived in the Hornsey district of London, England. Her Father Josiahs, was a local shop keeper and cabinet maker who “was very proud of his tools” and would not let just anyone touch them. No one, that is, except a young Victor Shattock.

			: This is a Southern Pacific 4-6-2 Class P-4 "Pacific-type" with vanderbilt tender, all brass, 3-1/2 inch gauge, built in 1953. More details provided on request. The locomotive has easily pulled twelve adults using four flatcars, with six children sitting in their laps. Built over a three-year period using rough castings and raw materials by the late [[Victor Shattock]], well-known West Coast live steam pioneer. This engine is but one of twenty+ locomotives that "Vic" built in his lifetime. The full size steam locomotive whistle pictured with the model came from the prototype SP 2422 locomotive. Enjoy this look back!
