Seems that a certain participants was given an appropriate safe spot during the activities:

Hey Barry, I took a look at your photos - nice! I finished posting mine,
and now, I realize too late that I missed getting one of you or your loco.
Here is a teaser:







The photos are on flickr also, in my steamup and misc. set -

jOHN had the Houston Area G Gaugers over today for their monthly meeting. I made some videos that I will try to post in the next day are so. Steve I had my problem with the switches today and my SRRL.
Ed,
The Russell is indeed a Roundhouse. I bought this engine just to run at John's place in Katy. This engine is radio controlled, but I prefer manual control. However, I learned that when operating on a ground level track the old body cannot get up and down to operate manually with comfort.
Thanks Ed and Barry for all the great pictures. Thanks everyone for attending. Had a great time and the weather was great also. Next stop is the Garden Ry Convention in Phoenix.
...when operating on a ground level track the old body cannot get up and down to operate manually...

Heck, that's a pain regardless of age!

Later,

I'll second that, after 20 years of trying to mimic crawling around the ground with "be a kid at heart" attitude, I am left only with the weeds along the "rails to trials" to which my aching joints shuffle along.
