- Bob Maynard designed the Clishay. He wrote a series for Live Steam Magazine back in the late 1970's on it's construction and how to build it.

- I have always considered Bob Maynard as one the finest elder statesmen of our hobby. Back in 1990, I was a freshman in college at the University of Cincinnati studying Civil Engineering. His name as well as Ralph Payne, were the only two people I "knew", albeit only through Modeltec and Live Steam Magazine. I contacted Bob and was immediately invited for a visit. He and Evelyn always enjoyed a visit and they allowed me to ride along to various live steam meets that were out of town when I could afford to break away from my studies.
- Meeting Bob lead me to meet others who continue to be good friends in the hobby such as Andy Stauffer, Jim Keith and Lou Lockwood.
- What I admired most about Bob was mechanical engineering knowledge and skills that he developed over the years, all the while without a traditional BS in Mechanical Engineering. His knowledge and advise was always practical and he had a way of keeping things simple but yet effective.
- One the finest memories I have of running a live steamer was an afternoon running Susan at the Cinder Sniffers track. What a smooth but powerful engine.
