Waushekum Live Steamers - Transfer Table
« Reply #1 on: October 08, 2007, 02:21:43 PM »
The Waushakum Live Steamers hold an annual meet on the weekend before Labour Day each year.  A couple of our members visited them this year (2007) and took some interesting pictures of their facilities.  In this and several other posts, they are posted here to provide all of us with insights into options for our miniature railways.  To learn more about the Waushakum Live Steamers, visit their website - http://steamingpriest.com/wls

The Washakum Live Steamers have developed an electrically powered transfer table as shown in the first picture below which allows them to move and store their 7 1/4" gauge equipment into and out of their "non-round" roundhouse whuich can be seen in the background in the second picture below.

Also shown in the thrid picture are a couple of front end loaders which are invaluable at any club undertaking railway development as ambitious as this system.
