On Sunday, June 6th, from 11AM to 5PM, the Kansas Central & Colorado RR owned and operated by Steve and Patsy Stockham and family was one of the featured stops on the Salina, KS Master Garden Tour. Approximately 700 guests visited. David & Lana McLain and Jim Carter from the Wichita Area Garden Railway Society [WAGRS] drove up from Wichita, KS and assisted Steve. Steve ran a variety of 1:20.3 steam engines in two consists. Jim also ran his circa 1931-1967 M-190 “Old Pelican” kitbashed doodlebug. All trains operated on RC/battery [RCS & QSI]. A good time was had by all in spite of high 90s temperature, high humidity, and little breeze. Hopefully as a result of Steve and Patsy’s efforts on the Tour, other layouts may be started. Lots of interest was exhibited.

I would prefer to embed the video to the forum, but for some reason I am unable to get it to work… HELP!
Enjoy,
