Can you believe 70 degrees on Tuesday when we were steamin and today it is in the 40's. Crazy weather here in Houston but we get to steam just about any time we want to steam.
We got to gether at Steve's yesterday for a good outing. Dave Young was running his Aster Prussian P8, Steve, his SRRL24, Reynolds his Accucraft Mogul and Art hie Aster S-2.
I dont want to give the impression that I have become an ASTER SNOB, but believe you me, since Hans and Jeff spent about six hours reworking the S-2,I connot believe how efficient she runs.
I di not put the full consist of cars on her all morning but did for a while, the track was a little slick from dew that was there from overnite. I was also embarrased as to how long i occupied the track. One fueling and
occasional adding of water and she ran for over an hour plus.
Here is a video of all the four engines that we ran yesterday. As you can see I just set the camera up on tripod and let her run.
