Well, it was another wonderful Narrow Gauge Meet at Bitter Creek back in August. In this video, you'll see one of the oldest prolific members of the community, Gene Allen, directly followed by one of the youngest, Jeff Tolan. In addition, SRRL5 brought his stunning Sandy River Forney and super long passenger gons, a rare treat. Another seldom-seen-at-meets engine is Karl's #20 D&RG Southern, with a big double header train. Peter Moseley's 464 is one of the stars of the show, once again. Rich Ulin's Shays made for a spectacular double header for the second year in a row.

(you'll need to download their software)
I also have some extensive footage of two Ulin West Side Shays double heading, no music. Rich Ulin fires his #14 and Bill Boller #15.
A short version of the Shay video is here:

Concentrated on gear motion and running.
Long version part 1:

Long version part 2:

The long version is sort of a fire up to blowdown full day. Both versions include pulling a huge train full of firewood up the mountain division and depositing it at the top. A tree that was deemed to be in danger of falling was cut down, and the wood pile happens to be located on top of the mountain division. Aw shucks.
