Next meet is TCA Fall York in October, after that,,? Maybe a table top in Rockville MD in November, will be looking at shows in Jan/Feb of next year, maybe down Maryland or DC way.

Thank you for sharing. Loved the variety of equipment you guys had running.  So many custom projects too.  My want list keeps growing😎

WOW is all I can say after watching that!  Are all of those unique engines creations by Jim Waterman’s brilliance?  If so Jim, shoot me an email sometime if you could about ballpark price ranges so I can start saving.

which hall at York will SGMA be running?

This is the only Lehigh Valley Black Diamond Challenger in standard Gauge that exists. One of a kind made by Jim Waterman.

That's gorgeous!

I’m liking the T-1 better than the GG1 now ! That is a beautiful piece .  Thanks for the video 👍👍.

Steve - not all mine, a bunch are hand made one offs by Norm Beaver (the T1, most of the locos lettered for Baltimore and Ohio). I can take credit for the Lehigh Valley Challenger and the Zephyr. Didn't run my own GG1, but will bring to York. As well as a newly build Harmon/Waterman Hudson. My own T1 will come probably next Spring.

What is really great about this group is that not only are they ready and willing to RUN all these fantastic trains, but a few members are also builders and have either created or modified trains to create something unique. Great group of guys to be associated with.

Jim,

Do you ever make those amazing models in O gauge or are you strictly Standard gauge guy?

To answer your question, no, I am working solely in Standard gauge, everything under the sun has been made in some form in O, and frankly, I got the standard gauge bug BAD about 5-6 years ago and although I have a lot of O, most of my buys and all my builds have been in Standard gauge since 2016.
