There will be video from this show but I am far behind the curve so it probably will be several days before that is done.
Well, this was a busy weekend. The show in Orange on Saturday followed on Sunday by an American Truck Historical Society event at the Brooklyn Fair Grounds in Brooklyn CT and the annual Van Brocklin meet at Waushakum Live Steamers.
I got to Orange and fired up the camera only to find that the battery was completely dead. Switch to the back up battery and start taking pictures without a hitch so that was good. In the evening I put the dead battery on the charger to no avail. It appears to be complete toast so I will have to order a new one. Can't afford to be at shows without a back up.
The day started out fine in Orange but the skies soon darkened and got very threatening but only a short sprinkle fell although the skies remained threatening.

The left photo is a drill machine. Think post drill but horizontal.
For drilling through the web of trackage. In the right hand photo are four
tools. the hammer and wrench are pretty self evident. The tool on
the left is a track gage to ensure the track is the proper spacing apart and the
tool on the right is to lever a car into mothion.
If you see your exhibit or machine and would care to drop me a line or two, or even a paragraph, about it I will be delighted to add your comments to this page. Please sent to webmaster@neme-s.org To identify a photo just hover your cursor over the photo and a tag should pop up. Please use the last three digits of the tag to identify the photo. For example if the tag came up DSC03974.jpg (205067 bytes) the info I would need is 976.jpg. If this is a multi page unit the page number would also be useful.
