This is the morning of the first revenue day after a major rebuild,

busy contemplating his having to sit in the wet spot when I was
given the "highball".

Location: Ontario Model Locomotive Efficiency Trial (OMLET) June,
2001
Locomotive: 3-1/2" ga. B&O P-7d Pacific.
Engineer: Ted McJannett (owner: Miniature Power Products)
Ted built this locomotive from the original Coventry castings,
and did a fantastic job with it. The locomotive includes steam
brakes, and working injector. This year, Ted chose to run with
a load of 1,000 lbs; hearing the exhaust on the grades was
wonderful! Ted came in third in this years event, and first for
3-1/2" scale. The write-up can be had at
