Is the term "lashup" ever correct?

I heard the term used when Steve Lee and John Rimmasch were discussing UP steam engines.

Knowing both of them I serious doubt THAT!  Unless of course they were messing with you, or someone else.

Maybe I misunderstood John. At the 12:31 mark ....

Well, you must understand that John was/is NOT a professional railroader. Not how Steve did NOT respond to THAT "term". John is, however, an EXCELLENT steam mechanic and certified high pressure vessel welder!John is also the founder and owner of Wasatch (sp) Railroad Contractors, one of the premier boiler repair/construction companies in the U.S..

I was just doing some friendly ribbing with you guys, Hot Water.

Happy Railroading.

A "lash-up" is what they do on the North Borneo Railway to accommodate mis-matched couplers ...

Well I'm hoping that anyone who wanted throttle time with Pere Marquette 1225 or Flagg coal 75 was able to get their tickets because to my knowledge both events are sold out! 

Tickets are expensive and the kids being older actually enjoy being track side. So we watched the trains come in and out, then headed to the bowling alley for some afternoon fun.  I hope Owosso will host another Trainfest soon. Their last one was a hit with the car show and Air show . The family enjoyed the carnival too.
