Scene at the Hobby Show of the Victoria, B.C. group in April 1950, shows Cliff Blackstaffe hauling a load of kids on the Exhibition Track with his "O" Gauge C&O live steam Pacific loco. This little steam loco has actually hauled the amazing load of over 300 pounds (two hefty adults). Carl Purinton, our Danvers Brotherhood Secretary can verify its ability at adult passenger work since he got a ride behind this engine while on a trip up that way in the summer of 1950. For this type of stunt the "O" gauge loco is coupled to the larger gauge passenger car and does its stuff. The engine was originally coal-fired, but was changed over to an alcohol vaporized burner for convenience in firing up and handling during these passenger hauling chores. "The Live Steamer", Sep-Oct 1950
