Here I am showing my engine.  Some modifications were made at this time, but she wasn't yet complete.

At Rob Devries Steamup the Ruby is running hard pulling a load.

  

Here is the Ruby with the Muskegon River Caboose on the next track.

 

Taken in Oct. 2003 at Ernie and Cindy Noa's.  The engine with the 180 deg eccentric change ran like a champ.

The Ruby pulled 13 cars without a problem.

Here she is with all of the latest updates. Now has a working headlight and diamond smoke stack.  Also the brass handrails were added.

This is the engine when it was pretty new and still stock.  The tender was added for the use of remote control.

A good run at Canterbury Village.  The people seemed to enjoy the little engine pulling a nice load.
