    Great times! My next project will be, not only making a train out of pencil lead... But having the train move, under the power of a manual (school-style) pencil sharpener! I am also thinking about crayons.. One can carve those too! The Crayola and Rose Art Wax Railroad! Stay tuned!! :D

    How totally fun. Can't wait for more. I was the car attendant on your gondola ride. Forgot to tell your wife, her video of building the Grizzly Flat RR Station inspired me. Went out the next day, bought one, and assembled it. Great job on the build and the video.

    The DELTA KING paddle wheel boat is the sister to the DELTA QUEEN. They were the last commercially built overnight passenger steamboats when built in 1926 for the Sacramento to Oakland service on the Sacramento River. After WWII, Greene Line Steamers out of Cincinnati bought and had the DELTA QUEEN towed through the Panama Canal up to New Orleans and Louisville where she was refitted for service on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. My wife and I spent two nights on her from Cincinnati to Louisville and back in May, 1972 for our first anniversary. In the late 80's I met one of the pilots of the DQ in Jefferson, TX of all places. She had had a 50 foot steamboat built and operated it on Caddo Lake out of Uncertain, TX. In 1995 to 2000 I was relief engineer on the Graceful Ghost.
    Before someone pipes up, the Delta Queen Steamboat Co. had the Mississippi Queen and then the American Queen built. The MQ was a steamboat with 20 foot stroke engines but by the time the AQ was built the machine shop that had built the MQ's engines had gone out of business and she was fitted with engines of 7 foot stroke so had to be fitted with 4 diesel power head drives to be movable. The DQ is in storage and the MQ has been dismantled. Shame.

Seems I made an Image or some such. So just gone. Including like 30 shots of the winning model. Gone for ever. Anyway your saloon survived! Nice model. Was it at the National NMRA?

I will be watching this show again and I am looking forward to all of your upcoming shows about this adventure. OUTSTANDING Karyn, your P&L layout should have won something. It is outstanding and you did such great modeling with lead and pencils. It is so well done, whimsical and imaginative, it deserves a blue ribbon. I wish we didn't have to wait a week for the next installment of your convention coverage.

    How cool! I had never even heard of the Delta King up until now, though I am of course very familiar with the Delta Queen and the Belle of Louisville. The Belle turned 105 this year I do believe and she's still plying the mighty Ohio river :) The Delta Queen should soon be back up to steam again very soon after a ten year long retirement. :) Seeing that Granite Rock #10 I remember years ago seeing one of it's sisters (USATC #5002) at the Kentucky Railway Museum in very sad shape, but she's now in Wisconsin being restored! Your "logging Shay" looks more like a Heisler like one they have in Cass, WV. They've also recently restored a Climax. Those models in that show just boggle my mind at all the labor it must have taken to put so much detail into them. Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for sharing it with us.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  5 лет назад +1

      Rebel9668 hi! Yup oops on the shay. I know the difference but my mouth doesn’t it seems. The Delta King is the sister boat to the Queen. Sank about 50 years ago in about 6 feet of water. They repaired and re floated and brought it to Sacramento to use as a hotel. And they have weddings and live theater and a great restaurant. What an adventure!!! What a way to see old Sacramento and the narrow gauge convention!!!!!

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  5 лет назад +1

      Yup. Great history! I was afraid that staying on the boat may be less than comfortable. Small rooms and all. Well that was 3 stays ago! Sure the small rooms are cramped but they have done a great job of turning this into a hotel without really altering the boat that much. And this was our best room yet!!! Wow!! What a great way to see the convention.

  • @jacobramsey7624
    @jacobramsey7624 5 лет назад +1

    I enjoyed you video very much but that logging locomotive you saw running with the log train is called a Heisler because its cildeners are in a V shap. A shay has 2 or 3 pistions all on 1 side with a drive shaft running along the side to all the weels. I saw one of thouse on the display table. A Climax has two cilender facing foward pointed slightly up. You should do a video on geared logging locomotives sometime so that you and your viewers will know for shour which one is which. Also, has Steve ever thought of doing a Hobby shop for a building? Lionel is perducing a hobby store with trains running on the layouts.

    Yet another great episode. I fly out of Sacramento and you are giving me ideas of things to see while I am screwing around. I did like the pencil box.
    The last episode was very good as well but it took a while for it to sink in for me. Certain countries will do anything to over come your competition. I do think that changes in China will have an impact on model railroading. I think that there will be more activity on sale of used items.
    Waiting for your next episode.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  5 лет назад

      China is simply where everything is now made. And I don’t see it ever going back. Adjusting for inflation an LGB mogul would sell for about 2 grand. Bachmann claims their price to be that high but sells for half or less. Usually way less. So I think if Bachmann were just gone because of a tariff or whatever I think it would just kill what’s left of the hobby. Who knows but you can’t un stir a martini

    • @crazysdk
      @crazysdk 5 лет назад

      If they gave you a tour by yourself, you’re probably fine. If you were part of one of the tour groups from the convention, you aren’t supposed to put up any tour pictures you take on social media. That’s what they told our group. As you said, shop tours are something they just don’t do, so they don’t want it spreading. They REALLY don’t want to start fielding calls from groups who see the pictures and are interested in tours since the answer will be no. If you were part of an NNGC tour group then you really shouldn’t post any shop stuff on social media (unless you ask the CSRM). I would imagine that doing so would not be appreciated by the CSRM and might even impact the ability of the convention to make these kinds of awesome special tours happen. I don’t mean to spoil things, I just remember being specifically told that no videos were allowed but pictures were as long as they were not posted on social media and being bummed that I couldn’t share it.

    • @ToyManTelevision
