| New Years Eve 2005!!! |
 |
 |
| OK, so we had such a blast on Christmas Eve, we decided to do it again on New Years Eve! This time we were joined by Ben Schnieder and his NYC "Atlantic" for a total of 5 steamers present. We were also blessed with a couple new first time engineers, Ron Spellman and William Thomson. The Florida sunshine kept things warm and festive. To all our friends everywhere we wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! |

| The "Grand Old Men" of the Buckingham Central. There is close to 200 years of live steam experience and knowledge standing there. I am honored to be associated with such exisite craftsmen and fine human beings, who are always ready to share their vast knowledge and insights to anyone who asks. Of course next to these guys, at 46 I am still considered to be "the kid"! |
