Weekend Steam II: Take A Ride On The Cass Scenic Railroad!

 Merle, this is a great place. We went many years ago and I remember a lot of twisty roads getting there, but totally worth the drive! Thank You!

 Thanks, Merle. I love these oddball and obscure engines you find!  

Timber Inventory Basics, Gathering Information For Management

Here are some of the basics for figuring out what you have in your timber stands, so you can figure out what you need to do. Things you need are a map or aerial photo, a layout of how you will be arranging your plots, compass for navigation, plus your pacing skills, Biltmore Stick, diameter tape, and a prism and/or angle gauge. Spray your ankles to keep the chiggers off. A tick lifter may be needed, too.

Weekend Steam II: Keck Gonnerman On The Sawmill At Evansville

The SIAM (Southern Indiana Antique Machinery) show was back this year at Evansville! The Keck was doing the honors on the sawmill, and the Huber was steamed up and waiting for its chance. Andy Glines told us that he had just finished installing new flues in his Huber, including the main flue, which is 22" diameter on one end and 23" on the other. Beading that big flue just about did Andy in. It's tough, noisy work.

Weekend Steam: 1910 Erie Engine Works Restoration

 Merle, this is a good one. The catalog pages included with this video are really great for study. It would be nice if an original flywheel and base could be found, but at least another old engine is saved from the scrapheap. Thanks, Merle, for spotting!
