2021 in New Jersey

The New Jersey Live Steamers welcomed us to join their annual Fall Steamup on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Sept. 24-26th.    NJLS, in addition to the 'hernia scale' ride-behind infrastructure, features two multi-track 45mm gauge permanent railways.  Mike Moore brought his smaller portable exhibition railway which we set up to accommodate the numerous 32mm gauge trains.  We had absolutely gorgeous early autumn weather featuring cool temperatures (lots of plumes), little wind (pot boilers ran well), and stunning crisp blue skies.  With so many tracks available there was no wait for track time.  Coal-, gas-, meths-fired and battery locos polished the rails; many of these were heritage locomotives.  Seven-eighths scale made an appearance as well.  No windups, unfortunately.  Perhaps in 2022... 

Here are a few photos of the action:
