We visited the NC Live Steam Meet on Saturday in Apex, NC and it was a blast!
We got to ride the 7.5" scale trains and the family got to engineer the Southern locomotive around the facility. The 55 acre location sports about 2.5 miles of track through the wooded terrain. Quite an event and honored to have been invited. Thanks again Duke!
Here are a few photos from the event, to view more of them you can go to my website and click the Photo Gallery VI.
Here’s our friend Duke pointing out the consist that we will ride and giving my son some basics on riding the rails:
This is one of the rolling stock on display, and it is a tribute to Jack Evans. The track and rack were hand built and on casters too!
Here is the better half at the controls and getting ready to fuel up for the next round!
This was our second time at this meet, they have one twice a year. It makes for great modeling interest as the gauge is 1.5 and the scale is 7.5"…or is it the other way around! [?] Just want to thank Duke again for the invite!
