New Jersey Live Steamers 1964
New Jersey Live Steamers club, Liberty Corner N.J. October 1964. Shot on 300 feet of regular 8mm film
The New Jersey Live Steamers (NJLS) was founded in 1961 as a nonprofit hobby club dedicated to the preservation of railroad-related scale modeling and historic preservation. The club's primary focus is on live steam engines, which are miniature models of locomotives and trains that operate using steam power.
NJLS members come together to share their passion for railroading, engineering, and craftsmanship. They build and operate their own live steam models, often based on historical prototypes. The club also maintains a track layout where members can run their trains and interact with other...

    There must be several short movies compiled on this video. As the progression of time of seasons and later vintage machines are shown. The 55 combine was a real early one as it has the hand powered long lever for the ground speed control, later versions had a hydraulic control with a short lever, I had both versions of them, they were very good machines for the time. Also notice the corn, the stalks are about 15 inches between them in the row, maybe 12000 plants per acre population? Today it's common to have 30000 ppa, but we use a good bit of fertilizer. Also what are they loading into the spreader? Almost looks like loose dirt? Not like any manure I've ever loaded! Also trying to figure out why the people at the farm demonstration are doing walking through the tall grass? A real interesting study.

      I liked that you included the winter films, but it also made me sad - two of my classmates were killed by sledding downhill into a trolley crossing (two separate instances) My grandfather collected fares when the passengers boarded in the middle of the car and the conductor and driver were two different people. And I was a trolley crossing guard on the Media line (School Road / Garrett Road) in my own time. Loved old No. 81 & No. 73 especially. Beautiful trolleys.

    OMG... Thanks so much for posting these memories. Wow...Train 17 in the morning! Locomotive 3030 was a regular visitor to Littleton, NC, back then. One evening, many moons ago, we "raced" (paced) it and Train 18 along curvy Highway 158 West after it had pulled out of Littleton, Mars light and all. We had to let it go a mile and a half out of town. The highway speed limit, back in those days, was 60. 18 was already exceeding that and still accelerating.
