Well what a great time!!

We completed the project just in the nick of time for the show.

Ohio Vintage Coal Co. was the only historic group there complete with the just restored 5 ton Jeffrey mine locomotive complete with track & overhead wire.

Special Thanks to the following helping us to accomplish this great show:

COAL AGE MAGAZINE, (Rick Jorgensen), Ron Jedlicka, Pete Jedlicka, Mike Jedlicka, Rob Baughman, Mike Schreiber,(restoration crew) Tad Jeffrey (former owner of Jeffrey Mfg.), Shoemaker Miners, Ray Mercado (helped at the booth & pictures), Mike Piersa (helped at the booth), R.P.M. Rigging & R.P.M. Industry (providing the moving equipment & machine shop) & those of us that have extremely patient wives.

Enjoy the pictures!

We even brought our professional trade show booth for the extra touch. It worked very well. Keep watching ANTY boys for more recently acquired equipment updates. We are trying our best to save this stuff but with the price of scrap up it is becoming difficult.

I attended the show through the courtesy of Ohio Vintage Coal. They had a great display that attracted a lot of attention. Here is a link to my photos of the show:

Almost forgot the DBT company with the londwall equipment is the company that bought the Jeffrey mining line.
