I was very glad I at least made the museum visit and got to catch up with a few folks, you and Dolly, and briefly meet a couple of the new people the last time. Demolition is over. Plumbing improvements were made, and some construction mistakes corrected. Last of the tile gets laid today, grout tomorrow, then caulking, sealing, and some painting after that. Had to decommission the darkroom and move some shelving to put in a plumbing access panel. But the project is turning out very nicely.Quote:

Welcome again Lee. Welcome again all who have been here before and any film shooters who would like to join us.Quote:

I found a contact on the steam engine page and wrote them offering a portfolio of images if they grant access a "back stage pass" as it were. Wonder if they will respond positively.

An interesting thing happened the last time the big steam engine came to the valley. There was to be a big opening event Saturday morning at the Rockside station (north end of the park). I got there an hour early to scope out a good place for the 7x17. Someone mentioned that the train was just across Rockside Road (north-follow the tracks) at very large parking lot. By then there were several hundred people milling about the Rockside station and still no train. I was the third person to figure this out and had all the time I wanted to get up close and personal with the engine.
Once the train got under way each station was packed. Peninsula was swamped with people. Just south of Everett Rd. (covered bridge, our house) is a tiny station at Indigo Lake on Riverview Rd. There were just a few people at this station and plenty of room to take pictures.
History has been known to repeat itself.

I'll be interested in seeing steam trains. I was a little dissapointed his last spring, the "Thomas The Train" exhibit featured a 'fake' engine, whereas in the past it had always been a live steam engine.
For those not already on the mailing list, we have something to get us through ‘til the next gathering. The 38th Cleveland Camera Collectors Show, Sunday, August 29, 2010, 10 AM to 4 PM, 4742 Brecksville Rd., Richfield, OH 4486, Days Inn.
