Here’s a special thanks to the guys who helped shine and strip paint off the Reno during the #greatwesternsteamup. The V&T #11 the “Reno” steam locomotive looks so much better after their hard work with brasso, paint stripper and other assorted chemicals.
We feature a couple of video creators who were there, the people from Railroad Showcase are the official event video creators, see their upcoming DVD or streaming at their website: https://www.rrshowcase.com
We also saw Fred Johnsen from the Airailimages channel on YouTube. Here’s a video he did that covers the Reno: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7pim2pagb0, thanks Airailimages for doing that!
The V&T #11 the “Reno” #steamlocomotive was on display for four days at the Nevada State Railroad museum, July 1-4, 2022. I was there working for the V&T talking to people about our fundraising efforts.
Another V&T person, Taylor McCready, was there working insane hours every day talking to people and shining/stripping paint off the Reno.Taylor organized a crew of helpers, to whom we are quite grateful, who worked continuously on the Reno while the show was open. It was amazing to watch!
We talk to one of them briefly, Kyle Gabba. I had just finished some longer interviews, I wish I hadn’t been in such a rush with Kyle.
Sorry for the video quality in some clips, I didn’t have my GoPro with me for some of the shots, I was using a cheap cell phone to shoot those, a Galaxy A12.
