Waynesburg, Pennsylvania
According to Chas. Cole, you ‘have a boiler full of water,
pop ready to blow, and a real hot fire so let’s get going!’
I saw a notice in his catalog about your magazine so I am writing
to see what it is all about. I finished a model traction engine
some years ago, which I still have (free lance) and had lots of fun
own an engine and boiler out of an old Mobile steam car and two
antique toy steam engines larger than most toys. Also have a steam
driven bicycle which I rebuilt and which is in running shape.
I take pictures of engines wherever I find; them. The oldest one
I have found is a Blandy bought new in 1863. I took a picture of it
in 1951. You can see I am interested in steam, so send along the
dope on your ALBUM.
