This is a 1920 Waterloo 16 HP and a Climax locomotive in background. Looks like a scene from the 1920s but was taken at Nanaimo in August 1974.

Sept. 22, 1974, Nanton, Alta., Reunion. This yearly show is
arranged and organized by Norm Edey of Nanton, Alta. On the left is
Mr. Jack Burrows of High River, Alta., he is owner and engineer of
this 1917 – 25 x 75 D.S. Gaar Scott steamer; a nice running engine,
does a good job of supplying power for the separator. The man on
the right is Eric Schwesinger of Calgary, Alta. Eric is doing a
good job of watching the steam gauge. Harvey Walter of Calgary, is
belt man and a very good one. Bill Hertzke of Nanton is spike
pitcher and has an ‘eagle eye’. Ernie Walter dida good job
of oiling and greasing the motor; he had the best job. Ernie is
also from Calgary. Courtesy of Arlo Jurney, F3 – 520 -75 Ave., S.W.

Well, that time of year, ‘SHOW TIME’, is rolling around
again. The time of year we all look forward to. Lots of hard work
in preparation  yes, but all so worthwhile. This picture was
taken at Nanton, Alta. in 1974. The occasion, a threshing
‘bee’ put on by Norm Edey of Nanton, Alta. It was held
Sept. 22, 1974. John Kemp of Nanton, and Arlo Jurney of Calgary are
keeping the separator going, while the Nanton crew of boys feed the
hungry machine. This yearly reunion is well attended and enjoyed by
all who partake in it or just go for a visit. Many hours of
pleasant reminiscing takes place and a ‘good time is had by
all’. Good eats are available and the engines run smoothly.
Norm Edey cannot be seen in this picture, because he just went for
lunch. The weather was ideal, for attendance and for threshing. One
of the best SHOW days attendance wise, and operation wise that has
been known at Nanton. The separator is a 1925 -36 x 64 Minneapolis.

This little fellow, or is it a she, is a 1/4 scale model of the
Sawyer Massey 76 HP, Western Special plowing engine. They were made
at Hamilton, Ont., Canada, the 76 through 1911 -1916 and considered
a very good all around engine, economical on water and easy firing.
This one was completely built in my home workshop, and took about 4
years of my time. A lot of driving and time was spent in finding
material new or used that could be converted to my use; plus a lot
of headaches; plus a lot of satisfaction when it first boiled
water, made steam, and actually ran. These two pictures taken in
1974 show rear and right view, and front and left view with me at
the controls. Courtesy of Harvey Walter, 1008 7 Ave., N.E. Calgary,
Alberta, Canada.
