Ken Eder's train and tractor show this weekend

In Carthage, NC (about an hour SW of Raleigh).

Here is an aerial view of his place (couple of years old - he's added more buildings since this view was taken).

It is my understanding that Ken has the largest, privately owned collection of steam equipment in the world.  Having been to his show last year, I can believe it.

As I recall, there are at least four or 5 buildings that measure 100' x 300', and they are totally full of tractors and equipment (four rows running the entire length of the building.  You can't absorb it all in one day.

Steam rollers, old steam backhoes, all kinds of steam, gasoline and other tractors and equipment, prairie tractors, iron wheel tractors, RR memorabilia, and his own working RR, it's unbelievable.

The show is this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  It's supposed to rain on Friday, but Saturday and Sunday should have great weather.
