Saw this pic on another forum, and fell in love with it! I have to add it to my "must build, someday" list...

Here's one more truck from Ely Nevada. Six more new photos on my Flickr site. The Power Wagon is in Tonopah Nevada.

I recognize some of those vehicles.

Did you take a trip to Nevada recently?

[Scratchman]

Ray, I just got back. I drove out on Sunday and came back on Tuesday. I went out to measure up the Keystone drilling machine in Ely and the Fordson shovel in Tonopah. The drilling machine was locked up and I was unable to get any measurements. I did get a lot of info on the shovel and around 120 photos. I drove around 1000 miles all together. I loved the two Museums in Tonopah.

Cool. Those museums really are great, aren't they? Too bad you went all that way and didn't get to measure the driller.

HI Gordon

thank you very much for these thought provoking (must build) images.

By the way do you have some sort of special "nose" to search out these wonderful relics.  or perhaps it is a special set of eagle eyes that do the trick.

keep these photos and your superb models coming.

have a great day

Here is why many railroads dumped steam as fast as the diesels could crank up:http://www.youtube.com/user/PoathArchives#p/u/28/xAmZ_Z1B8Yw. This is a most excellent British film about servicing a steam loco. Question: How many men does it take to clean out a boiler?

Hi John

lovely film and yes, you are correct this was indeed part of the rapid demise of steam.

by my count 14 people were required to service the engine.

have fun
