If you are local to the Connecticut area we will be at the Connecticut Antique Machinery Association spring powerup May 2nd and 3rd, we aren't bringing the train like we did for the fall show but we are bringing the hand pump car also known as a gandy dancer car that we will run on their mining museum tracks if you would like to come see it in person or try it out! It's a great show with lots of old steam machinery operating
