2009 Steam School Spark Show Pictures

[M Kerkvliet]

Never got any movies this time around, but I did get some good pictures from the spark show on Saturday night.

If anyone else has any to share, feel free to add any you have to this thread, or start one of your own if you prefer.

First off, some of the Larson Russell

I like this one. I think it is Clayton on the left, and Mike on the right. I am sure Craig was around somewhere as well...

This one is the miniature that was putting on a great show! Ray Wanglers engine maybe?

Another fine effort by Eric the Ned Mars (and crew) and the WMSTR 75 Case! This time he nailed it, after some helpful advice from one of the spark show kings! :hide:

Ned always has to add a "personal touch" to his show. This is a shot of the flywheel of the 75 that turned out pretty darn cool...

Another outstanding night for a spark show! Only one thing was missing, but I won't go there for now!

Please share your pictures if you have any!

Thanks Mark. I still get a kick out of the fact that the camera I use is about as old as I am. The first year of spark pictures (2007 I think) I hadn't even got to read all the manual. I still think that most of my spark pictures come down to pure luck, but I'm starting to understand some of the things that I can do to make them better. Hope to get some closer pictures at the brake this year.
