Weekend Steam

The current issue of Engineers and Engines Magazine arrived a few days ago,  with this gorgeous Nott Steam Fire engine adorning the cover.  This engine is a 1909 model, and it was married to a 1919 American LaFrance two wheel tractor in 1934.  The rig belongs to the East Hampton Fire Departmenti in Long Island, New York, and was on display at the Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association's 61st annual reunion at Kinzers, Pa.

I first subscribed to E & E more than forty-five years ago, and it is better than ever today.  Brenda Stant, Editor and Publisher produces this bi-monthly magazine from her office on her family farm near Bethlehem, MD, and has just recently changed printers for a huge upgrade in printing quality and better use of color.

Engineers and Engines covers steam, gas engines and tractors, railroads, and farm machinery with historical articles, show reports, articles by subscribers, ads for engine shows, and classified ads for anything engine related.

Click one of the links to visit the E & E website, and click the What's Inside button for a sample of what you are missing if you are not a subscriber.  While you are visiting, click the Subscribe Button to have E & E delivered to your mailbox.

True Blue Sam is a hobby blog, and I do not accept pay for advertising.  This plug for Engineers and Engines is posted here just to spread the word about a great little American made magazine.
