20th Annual BLS Meet
The 20th Annual Brother of Live Steamers meet was held at Lester Friend's track at Danvers, Massachusetts.
- During the 1952 Brotherhood meeting at Danvers, Mass. "UPSY" made several non stop runs around the big loop which is 1800 feet long and includes a 2.5% grade.
David Yoder's fine 3-1/2" gauge switcher. This loco includes a coal stoker. Taken at the 20th Annual BLS meet by Robert Harding of Marblehead, Mass.
Frank Kaylor's 3-1/2" gauge Pacific running at the 20th annual BLS meet, 1952. Like the other locos of the Southeastern Live Steamers, this job had one of Otha Hege's turbo-generators.
Harry Quick's 4-3/4" gauge free lance Mountain type. It is a nicely detailed job and runs well. The 4-3/4" gauge track at Danvers is not continuous, so this engine was not able to show what it could pull.
GGLS Redwood Canyon Meet
A BLS meet was also held at the Golden Gate Live Steamers Redwood Canyon Park track.
Composer and live steam collector, David Rose, behind a newly purchased British ¾” tanky. The Brotherhood Meet 1952, GGLS Redwood Canyon Park.
