Here is something near and dear to my heart.
A video showing the
Kiddieland locomotive and tender being unloaded at the Hesston Steam Museum
My son shot the video, the music is by a local band that plays railroad
Dixieland music.
If you like it, leave a
comment for my son. Enjoy.

What if DLS held a Live Steam and Diesel Convention?
Would
you attend?
I'm thinking of holding
several regional conventions at various tracks around the US in 2010 and 2011.
I'm looking for likely
areas for these events based on the location of the folks that might attend.
to give me your input on a convention location.

From Zero to Steam In 124-¾ Hours
by
Terry D. Spahr
About thirty
years ago, my two sons and I discovered something exciting! We found
the Los Angeles Live Steamers
Railroad Museum in Griffith Park near the LA Zoo! What an exciting
place for us to spend Sunday afternoons! It had operating
miniature steam locomotives that burned coal and pulled cars for us to
ride and had the smell that I never forgot, coal smoke! My sons loved
to ride but I remembered my childhood and thought to myself, “Wow,
wouldn’t it be a wonderful hobby to own and operate a live steam
locomotive?”
