Re: Phil Found in Fillmore ...

Hi, Derek -

Phil will be at the Santa Margarita Ranch north of San Luis Obispo most of this week, where the
Pacific Coast Railway is hosting the 50th National Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Association
meet. IIRC, this event will be open to the public Thursday through Sunday, June 24-27, so come
on up and introduce yourself.

There will be three or four 3-foot gauge locomotives running on the two-mile-long "backyard" railroad, and a large number of steam tractors, old Caterpillar tractors, etc., etc. in operation, so it's well worth your time to drive up for a day or two. (See the link on "Grumps" Badger's post at [ngdiscussion.net].)

I can't speak for the Fillmore & Western, but it I'm sure Phil would be happy to have some additional experienced help; you'll probably be welcome after you have signed the appropriate insurance waivers, etc., but it's best to have talked to Phil first if you can. (The F&W has been putting up with me off-and-on for years ... )
