Live steam DSP&P 2-8-0

[Ken Martin]

Last weekend I went to a live steam meet in SE Iowa. One of the engines running there was a homebuilt DSP&P 2-8-0 #216.
This engine looks beautiful.

A picture of it can be seen in their Gallery at:

Wow, thanks for posting this.  That is a very beautiful engine.  

thanks,

Actually I'm terribly envious.  If I had the time I would be doing live steam myself- it's in my genes, my great uncle was a designer of locomotives up to 15" gauge, many of which are still lovingly cared for and running in the UK.

That is pretty cool. Would someday like to have something like that, but I think I'll wait for retirement and I stop moving so much.
