Okay...had to go see what this was all about. About a 2 hour drive for me from Delaware. Very cool show...definitely going back next year. I saw Steve (9W) there but didn't get around to introducing myself - had my 6 year old in tow so hands full. Seems like the scale construction stuff would fit right in at this show and was kind of surprised I didn't see any there. Definite opportunity for the guys I see here to show off their stuff and play in the dirt!

Some video clips and photo collection on youtube...

Looks like it was a fun show. Wish I could have made it there to see for myself. Nice video and pics, thanks for sharing!

My pay scraper would be in that pile IF I didn't have other things that popped up this weekend but the other thing turned out OK

Great photos & video Joe, that looks to be a great show to break up the monotonous mid winter melodrama. Thanx for bringing along the camera.

[Stepside]

thanks a ton for sharing!

I love the little "steam shop" shown in the beginning of the video!

Very kool indeed!

I spent most of the time running my equipment so I didn't take much video or pictures.

This is a quick video I shot today before I packed up. Mike (Steves Son) is running the (9W) and Steve is running the Doepke crane.

This is the only other video I took. This man built everything on this table, including the table and I'll let the video explain why it is round.

Thanks Scott for posting the videos. The gentleman with the round table was a surprise for me as he was an exhibitor at the NAMES show for years but not the past few. His work is unbelievable to see. Looks like I missed a fun show

Got home safe and sound. Glad to meet Jammer Ed in person and see Scott again. I'm working on getting some video uploaded. Like some we always forget to get lots of pictures. I got a few but they're mostly of my machine. We had our troubles too like Ed. My hoist motor has something wrong with it and we had to install a smaller bucket. The regular one worked great until what I think was we demagnetized the motor some or cooked a winding setting up my current limit on the hoist DC drive.

I'm really felt bad Ed's machine broke. I didn't even get to see it because I was still on my way to the show.




This caught my eye, Traction engines were the feature of the show. These are examples of the smaller ones I came across.

Nice video quality on that new camera! I should invest in a better camera. Thank you for letting me run the 9W Steve, it runs soooo smooth with the 2.4ghz radio system in it.

I hope you post some vids of the 9W walking down the hill.

Steve Hello thought I'd give you a shout and see if you found out what was really wrong was it what you said or was it something else? Ed

Haven't looked yet. It may be a couple weeks till I tear into it.

I'm glad I didn't screw up your boom hoist Like you said; "Don't distract the operator"

Nice videos and pictures! Looked like a lot of fun! Steve- is your hoist motor overloaded or do you know what the problem was?

[D8R]

Looks like you had a fun weekend

Not sure yet Tom.


I had a guy come up to me while running my machine and tell me the digging attraction alone was worth his admission.
I was talking to Gary,the man in charge and he told me this was a record year of over 5000 people attending possibly more because they know how many buttons they give to people and he ran out!
Now next year, he wants the live steam train people to build a bridge over the boat pond so the boats can have something to navigate around and also I told him about the East Coast guys who use a bridge for their trucks. He wants more trucks and equipment next year because of all the rave reviews he got from people. He is also going to supply more dirt so we can have more room to move around on.

Looks like you guys had a good time.
