Jeeze guys, nice pics. What does it for me though, including good equipment pics such as those here. At least half of my love of narrow gauge is the people stories and pics of them doing their jobs and obviously loving it, in spite of corporate injustice. The narrow gauges just seem to be more laid back than their bigger brothers. One of my fondest memories was in meeting the return of the Silverton train 1980, and a former employee and his dogs, all clamoring for attention. All he ever said was " You don't want to encourage them." I wish I'd known him better.
