Dumster Dave sent me his album to the Brownsville Show in 07. Some of the equipment looks like it just came off the show room floor. Here's a few of my favorites and a link to the rest of the pictures. Thanks for sharing these Dave.



















I love this fuel truck.

I can see where the operator would have a long hard day on some of this equipment.

Thanks for the posting help. This show (HCEA) was the best antique equipment show I have ever been to. I have been to at least 15 shows and it ranks far and above any other I have been to. This years show will be at the HCEA home grounds at Bowling Green, Ohio. Sept 14,15,&16. This will be a very good show. I do not know if I will have a display of some of my older models as I have done in the past, but there will be plenty of other models for sale and display. DHS and Buffalo Roads are usally there. Thanks again Lashlander for the help and I hope others will enjoy the pics.

I need to engrave those dates on my forehead. The chance to see some live steam alone would probably make the visit worthwhile...

Those pictures are amazing, thankyou for posting them. The Erie Shovel must have been awsome! When I was a kid I remember the Northwest cable backhoe that put the sewers in our neighborhood. It seemed so big then. I have to make the show next year. Was there any Euclid machines there?

I'd love to go to one of these shows. The sad thing is I've operated a bunch of that stuff through the years.

Very cool!
The fuel truck is awesome. Guess it never donged on me how they kept the boilers fed on that old steam equipment.

Are you an enviromentist, or do you work for a living?

This show has been discussed here many times in the past, and it just gets better every year!

If you haven't been there; I can't recommend it enough, and you get two opportunities every year.

This is from one of my previous posts:
We had a great showing of our models and were a huge crowd pleaser at this years National Pike Steam Horse and Gas show. I piled about 7ton of dirt under roof so we could work our machines "In the dirt" There were a few kids that were allowed to operate our models and they did a great job respecting them too! I made one kids weekend by letting him operate the 9W,I told him he was the forth person to ever operate my machine. He did very well keeping the cables tight. All in all we had only minor break downs and mine happened when we were loading my dragline onto my trailer and that was the same part that broke one year ago at the same time. I think I'll make a better coupling any way.
