	One of the Canadian television companies had taken movies of the power boats and the locomotives during Saturday and these were shown on a TV set at "The Old Mill" just before dinner. After the dinner was over movies of some of the power boats were shown and these were followed by locomotive films brought by [[Larry Duggan]] from San Francisco. It is a great pity, in more ways than one, that there is no group or track somewhere nearer the center of North American than any of the presently existing groups who have tracks. Toronto, being a little nearer the center, this year drew many more live steamers from Ohio, Illinois and the St. Louis region than any other previous meeting. It was very nice that so many came from this area and that we all could get acquainted.

It was very nice that so many came from this area and that we all could get acquainted.

	As usual, the Live Steamers came from pretty much all over Canada and the States. It was again fine to see John Matthews from Garden Grove, [[Larry Duggan]] of San Francisco, [[Jack Kerr]], Marvin Winslow and T.W. Thompson of Winnipeg, Mottshaw from Port Arthur, Lester Glass of Sac City, the three Robinsons from Celoron, Karl Friedrich of Pittsburgh, [[David Mackie\|Dave Mackie]] from Ashland, Wisconsin, the Lees of Windsor, Bob Ebert from Wooster, Charlie Titius of Mattoon, John Hiestand of University City, the [[Emery Ohlenkamp\|Ohlenkamps]] from Chicago, [[Otha Hege]] of Charlotte and all of the other Live Steamers, both visitors and the members of the TSME.

	This year there were approximately 31 locos in steam at different times. It is interesting to note, as an indication of the most popular scales, at least in the east, that there were but two 2-1/2 inch gauge locomotives in operation. All the others were 3-1/2 inch gauge. Another phase is that there were but two 4-3/4 inch gauge jobs on exhibition; one was Bill Coopers 0-6-0 CNR switcher and the other was Bill Mark's 4-6-4. The most popular wheel arrangement is the Hudson and in second place are the Atlantics. From here on in the arrangements varied and perhaps more interesting, to me anyway. Ohlenkamp's "Rainhill", Allin's B&A Tanker, [[A Loco Built From Scrap\|Van Gorp's 0-4-0]], John Matthews' "Pug", my "Mogu", Ralphs Knox's "T. Thumb", Keyworth's "Royal Scot", Bob Ebert's "Milly", Friedrich's saddle tank, Falconer's "Precursor", Josslin's "Helen Long", Jim Watt's "Jeanie Deans", and the several fine traction engines all go to make up a most varied collection of locomotives and their first cousins, the traction engines.

	Now that the colder weather is near at hand, one can get to work in the shop once more without feeling that the outside work is being a little neglected. Also with the summer and fall operating pleasures over with, at least for the Brothers who dwell in the cold sections, the new projects can be given more attention. I don't know as all of them suffer from the same troubles as I do right now. My difficulty seems to stem from the fact that I have too many schemes on deck. Between three old 2-1/2" gauge engines to overhaul, three new locos to finish, the drawings and the welcome letters, it seems as if I were making very little headway. Besides all this, the kitchen has to be painted. It looks as if I could be pretty busy until spring rolls around again.

	Have been trying out a simple form of hydrostatic lubricator on one of my new small moguls. I know from previous experience that a mechanical lubricator is 100% satisfactory, but some of the parts are rather fiddling to make. This hydrostatic system consists of a vertical tank located in the cab on the fireman's side. Steam is taken to it from a valve on the turret. Between the turret valve and the tank is a check valve so the oil cannot be sucked back into the boiler. At the oil outlet at the top of the tank, is a regulating valve so located that it can easily be reached when running. A choke is located in the delivery pipe where it enters the steam line to the cylinders. However, I have found with this rig that it is best to shut the turret valve just before closing the throttle and opening the blower. Further tests are needed to determine if the system is OK.

	A question in a recent letter dealt with the scaling down of valve gears. I think that the Live Steamers who have studied valve gears will go along with the following statement; that Baker is the only gear that can be scaled down from the full size dimensions. Unlike the other gears, it can be placed almost anywhere within reason and it will work correctly. The foregoing applies to the gear itself. The dimensions of the combination of level will no doubt have to be changed as most of our small locos use a different combination of lap and lead.

	The Toronto Society members at the registration desk were busy lads. They not only had to register the locomotive men, but gave them a badge and also a very special and welcome souvenir in the form of a white cloth bag with the TSME seal on the outside and five pounds of Welsh coal inside. There were between 90 and 100 gas of caol and some of the later arrivals were out of luck, which goes to give you some idea of the number of loco men on hand. The complete list of names of those who registered has not reached me from Toronto as yet, but my guess would be that there were over 150. It is the custom of the TSME, on the occasion of their annual meeting of the loco and power boat men, to have dinner on Saturday night at "The Old Mill." When the boat and loco men registered in at the TSME grounds, they were given a chance to sign up for the dinner. By the middle of Saturday afternoon about 80 had taken tickets, but by the time everyone was seated for supper, there were over 160 to feed. Under these conditions the "Old Mill" deserve a whole lot of credit for the very excellent manner in which this situation was handled.

	Sunday, March 22nd, Southern California Live Steamers met at their track facilities in Lomita and a good turn out of workers in the A.M. saw considerable work accomplished towards cutting in new switch for the westbound track leading to steaming tracks and turn table. At the 1 P.M. business session, after the reading of the minutes of the past meeting of February 19, the subject of the 1954 Brotherhood meet was again on the agenda. After pro and con discussion of problems to be dealt with, a vote was called for. The attendance of thirty one members cast a solid vote in favor of the Brotherhood meeting. Notice will be given the Brotherhood that no facilities for 1/2 inch scale equipment will be available at the 1954 National meeting.

			The 1953 meeting of the BLS is being scheduled for the 22nd and 23rd of August at Toronto, Ontario by invitation of the Toronto Society of Model Engineers. They have a nice track and are a most congenial group. I hope that all the Live Steamers who can will attend, as this promises to be a good meeting.
