Steam & Excursion > What ever happened to OKTrainboys?

Haven't seen a post from OKTrainboys in a VERY long time. Wonder if he and his family will be on the 4449 trip to Bend, OR in June, this year?

He's been busy building a railroad for live steamers and predicting weather.  Busy boy.

I remember that from a few years ago, and he was posting photos of his progress. Nothing since, however.

He posts a lot of photos on Faceplant.  Nice RR, but we have to steer him away from the British stuff. He's even talking railroads in British terms now.  He's slippping over to the dark side.
In his favor though, he is having a Frisco 4-8-4 built.

Much as I am mostly an "All-American Boy" when it comes to railroading, respect must be given to England as the ancestral home of steam railways and the place where a group commissioned the construction of a full-size mainline steam locomotive "from scratch".  And where else is there such a plethora of  preserved and resurrected steam railways?  Even if some of the locomotives do look like cousins of Thomas the Tank Engine, it seems like there are few places in England that are more than 40 miles from a heritage railway.
