Steam & Excursion > LIMA Locomotive Works films

Historic Films of the LLW and Bluffton, Ohio, will be presented on Thursday, April 17, at 6 pm at the Allen County Museum, Lima, Ohio. Films of Dr. B.W. Travis of Bluffton will be shown including lots of NKP and brand new C&O H-8's on the way to Fostoria, Ohio. They were backed all the way- light, one at a time, without even a caboose. Next are films of brand new SP Daylights and SP AC-9's on the LLW test track, shop scenes, and a 15 minute sequence of Lima built Sherman Army tanks, various LIMA shovels and cranes including a giant crane lifting a brand new Army 2-8-0, and new L-H NYC diesels on the test track. No admission charge but donations to the Lincoln Park Railroad Exhibit are welcome.

About 98-100 folks showed up.  Everybody seemed thrilled with the films and we did not get through all of them before we ran out of time.  A DVD is planned so if you have interest, send a PM regarding same.
