Southeastern Live Steamers

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.

The Southeastern Live Steamers track is featured in a segment of The Films of Carl Purinton. It includes footage from May 1963, May 1964, October 1967 and October 1968.

Otha Hege and Clyde Leonard were among the members of the club.

Bob Hornsby writes:

The track was in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. I don’t know the exact location as Carl never did either. Carl was never there, but some the Charlotte boys often came north. I recall in some of Carl’s movies that one of them had a beautiful 3/4” scale Southern PS4. They did not have a ground level track. It was all elevated with 3/4” and 1” scale. The track was at the home of one of the members.
