Mid-Winter Get-Together (from Don Sadler) -
The Nineteenth annual Mid-Winter Get-Together will be held on Saturday, February 12, 2011 from 10 am. until 3 pm. in the Model Building. As usual there is no formal program, just a chance to get out of the house and get together with fellow Rough & Tumblers to "chew the fat". Everyone is encouraged to bring models and other projects, complete or not, crafts, any photos from trips or past shows (R&T and elsewhere), videos or other interesting stuff. The Blacksmiths plan to have their forge and pot bellied stove fired up also. Lunch is bring-your-own with coffee, donuts, soda, chips and cookies provided. The Blacksmiths will be hosting a "pot-luck" lunch so bring a food dish and join them at the Blacksmith Shop. You won't go away hungry. Video equipment will be available, and we will have the heater in the Model Building and the stove in the Blacksmith shop fired up for your comfort.
So, shake off those winter blues, and come on out! The snow date will be Saturday, February 19.
 
   
Steam School 2012

Rough & Tumble Steam School - Kinzers, Pa.
May 19, 2012, and June 2, 2012.
 
Steam School tuition is $75, which includes school materials. Enrollment is limited to Rough & Tumble members. New members must join prior to school due to insurance regulations to operate equipment on the R&T grounds. The school is limited to the first 27 applicants, age 14 and over and school fills quickly. Applications are accepted only at the "Time of Harvest" show October 14th and 15th.
Emphasis is placed on safety, maintenance, operation, and the hands-on experience. Class time is limited to half of the first day, with remaining time dedicated to practical, hands-on operation, including cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and operation of numerous steam traction engines. Operating and conditions permitting, students also may operate 2 railroad engines (The Shay and Little Toot) as well as a Buffalo Springfield steam roller and a large variety of steam traction equipment. This gives students the widest experience available to operate steam equipment, unique to Rough and Tumble Engineers Historical Association.
