Steam Railroading in the Basement

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ......

To All of my friends on Altamont Press-- this evening, with the assistance of a neighbor, I have at long last been able to Upload a portion of a very rare and historical film to the video archives of YOU TUBE...
Approximately fourteen minutes of 1938 vintage film depicting operation of Victor Shattock's 1/2-inch scale "Live Steam" railroad in the basement of his old Fruitvale District home in East Oakland, CA.
I uploaded considerably more but all YOU TUBE captured was about fourteen minutes worth. The quality is poor but it gives you an idea of what I was exposed to as a child, being brought up by two wonderful and loving grandparents. Enjoy what you can and let me know your personal reaction to what you see. Thanks to all of you...
