Gonna take a long vacation. If you wish to find me, follow the sound of the airpump and the slightly off-key four-chime whistle.

Well......what can I say! We've got stuff for the engineer, the fireman, the signalman, the draft-designer, the tax-collector, the possessed and the mentally impared! Just look inside here, but expect the unexpected.

How was my day you ask?  

Raised steam in a boiler six times my height, and let it spread it's life and warmth like fingers over everything connected to it and the ground it all sits on.  I have not felt this good in a year.

alex you must call me as soon as you can as i just had an amazing idea, i want to take the heisler to the orange engine show this summer and i will be able to give rides but i will need at least 30 feet of track to run up and down and that means about 60 feet of rail if i did this i would need to run all day and i will need another engineer to run the heisler so i dont get too tired so can you make it? i will also need to find another riding car but i know where i can get one also is it ok to run on those wood stove pellets? that way i dont have to steam down every 3 hours to clean out the ash pan give me a call. thanks
