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.
