Travels of Mike's live steam locomotive the Frank S and the Autism Express

Finaly getting around to posting pics of the travels of my live steamer the Frank S and my custom Autism train cars. These pics are from the trip to Flint Michigan my wife and I took on our old Honda motorcycles. Mine is a baby Goldwing, otherwise known as a GL500 Silverwing. Has hard carrying cases on each side and right behind me. I packed Frankie and 2 of my passenger coaches and away we rode. The Michigan Small Scale Live Steamers set up their portable layout at the Huckleberry Railroad. Sorry for them being a bit blurry, I was holding the RC transmitter that I use to control the engine with one hand and taking pics with my phone with the other. We had a great time and the bikes ran great. Enjoy. Mike

Here is a pic of me(in the green hoodie with blue hat) running Frankie with 4 cars, including the 2 from the first pictures. You cant really see the train, its just infront of me and mostly hidden by the other trains. If you look real close you can just make out the top of the engine and passenger coaches. I forgot to take pics, was in hyper focus all day, so I am hunting down pics taken by others. Mike

No live steam with Frank S today, was twilight when we got home from dinner and errands, so I got out my battery powered engine and the cars for some twilight running. Enjoy. Mike
