Portrait with a story

Not everyone at my Live Steam club has an engine.
This is Bob. He started building an electric locomotive several years
ago, but never finished it. In the meantime, he has spent countless hours
replacing, repairing and maintaining the track, for the rest of us.
Now he is content to sit on the tractor and mow the lawn. We have a lot
of lawn on our 12 acre club property.

And I bet he has enjoyed all the tinkering he did on his locomotive

What a great guy....I can't get my housemate to get off his big butt to mow mine. I've done it 4 weeks in a row and said I would hold out but it has to be done. I'm betting Bob would help me if you guys were closer. I want to trade mine in for Bob!
