National Summer Steamup 2008 — Thursday

Scales, eras or sides of the pond don’t matter at the Summer Steamup: from left, Rob Lenicheck listens to hear whether the fire has caught in his scratch-built RGS No. 14 as David Leech examines Lenicheck’s detailed rolling stock. In the black cap, Geoff Spenceley tweaks the throttle on his Aster Schools, while across the way, Howard Maculsay takes a moment from photographing his heavily modified Ruby to check what’s going on under the roof.
