It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog! I had a neat and unexpected experience in Colorado this summer. I was out for a walk one evening in the town we were camping in and discovered that there is a manufacturer of railroad locomotive parts, Ulco, located in that town. The owner had a wonderful grand scale locomotive that he and his father had built years ago. He operates it every now and then and was going to operate on the day we were going to head home. We ended up staying later and I ended up firing up the locomotive and getting to operate it for a short distance. It's an amazingly well detailed and built locomotive based on the ones that the Cumbres & Toltec and Durango and Silverton's Railroads run. It has many details that the full size ones have.
Neat opportunity for you. INteresting that he and his father built it. Obviously very skilled and knowledgeable
