Hello, My name is Kevin Bush, a friend of John Kelly and a future C&TS engineer. Recently joined the Friends. I live in Omaha Nebraska. There is a 30" gauge railroad that is 3 miles in length and runs around one of the largest zoo's in the country. We have a machine shop and engine house and 2 steam locomotives. One is a genuine workhorse built in Linz Austria in 1890, it is an 0-6-2t. The other is a Crown Metal products 4-4-0 built in 1968 for the zoo. We have up to and including 6 percent grades!! Omaha is very hilly!!
I am 16 and have ran both engines. I ran the 0-6-2t for the first time last weekend, very loud for its size!!! Do I have a good start to working at the C&TS?!
I would be very much obliged if you gentlemen would kindly send me and John Kelly a drawing/side shots of the 497. Since I cant run the real things we would like to get a very small taste of what I might be like to run one. We are going to create a 3d model of it for Microsoft Train Simulator.
Sorry for such a long post.
Thanks alot,
Kevin Bush
P.S. I will be at the C&TS in August I think.
