Weekend Steam

Winter is beginning to get a bit old with me, and I need to get out and cut wood again this weekend. It makes me wish for warmer weather and a good steam show. These videos were shot at Rollag, Minnesota, a show I have never attended. I hope to see it someday. I have never seen a big vertical engine like the one from the Pabst Brewery. That is really a beautiful machine. Below is a spark show given by a 40-120 HP Undermounted Avery. That is a big traction engine, and it looks as if the fireman really loaded up the firebox. The sparks start at about 1:15, so be patient.
