This is a miniature robotic parade "float" I've been working on. It is remotely controlled and seems to be a big hit with younger kids. Here, I'm driving it around our neighborhood. More information at www.tinyparades.com

Video Title: Steam Legends Date Added: 5/19/2010 12:56:18 PM
A short movie about the lost Norfolk and Western Steam Engines, 1118, 1134, 1151, and 917. Some of the vintage photos aren't of the exact engines shown. I just wanted to show how they might have looked like if back when they were running.
Here is a link to the website, The Lost Engines of Roanoke, http://lostengines.railfan.net/scrapy... These engines are located at the Virginia Scrap Iron & Metal yard, in Roanoke Virginia. Thank You, these are really beautiful engines, such a loss!

Video Title: N. Y. O. and W. steam engines Date Added: 5/19/2010 12:54:32 PM
The coolest of the 1930's 16mm home movies my brother bought at a yard sale. The guy driving the engines must have been a big wheel to have been able to play with the center cab engine and the 458 on the turn table. He even had his own coal shovel! Engines 213, 459, 458, 409, 211, 215, 304, 401, 278, 251, and 354. Others I can't read numbers on.
