Jim: Posting the link as a URL (as you did) is the easiest and most efficient way to do it from YouTube.  From Photobucket you can post a frame of the video as the link, but PB only works with smaller videos.  Nice job, thanks for sharing.

Stockham's Trains run for the Master Garden Tour

On Sunday, June 6th, from 11AM to 5PM, the Kansas Central & Colorado RR owned and operated by Steve and Patsy Stockham and family was one of the featured stops on the Salina, KS Master Garden Tour.  Approximately 700 guests visited.   David & Lana McLain and Jim Carter from the Wichita Area Garden Railway Society [WAGRS] drove up from Wichita, KS and assisted Steve.   Steve ran a variety of 1:20.3 steam engines in two consists.  Jim also ran his circa 1931-1967 M-190 "Old Pelican" kitbashed doodlebug.  All trains operated on RC/battery [RCS & QSI].  A good time was had by all in spite of high 90s temperature, high humidity, and little breeze.  Hopefully as a result of Steve and Patsy's efforts on the Tour, other layouts may be started.  Lots of interest was exhibited.

Enjoy,
