Stanley Narrow frame 30HP Rebuild12/1/2019 Joe Shukay writes: Early Stanley, small frame 30HP engine we rebuilt years ago as a spare engine for the Model 85.

Stanley Model 64 Rebuild12/1/2019 Seamus Michael Hnat writes: I always forget to put pictures in this album. Most recently I took the 10hp engine and rear axle out of the 1913 Stanley 64. It is going up to Rempco in Cadillac, MI for a 10hp kit upgrade as well as some axle work. Wheels are going to get sent out for new spokes and fellows. I am going to start checking out some of the pumps, valves, and check valves, to make sure they are all up to snuff and get a better understanding of how they all work. I am also going to re-pipe some of the car to make it more organized. A completely mechanical car. Stanley 63 Progress11/20/2019 Bill Barnes Writes: Stanley model 63, 1910 car. New Boiler,Burner.

Work on the Stanley 85 continues11/20/2019 Joe Shukay writes: Some views under the Stanley from yesterday. The packing glands (which i was repacking) and area between the crankcase and cylinder head, rear axle assembly and master cylinder. I find i often would rather be on the creeper under the car inspecting and looking at everything, finding things that need tightening or cleaning. Just getting up and down is the hard part. It's been tough doing any work the past week with these migraines that come on suddenly. It seems they love to come on in middle of working on something.

Today, we carried our founder, mentor and friend on his final "road trip" -- and it's only fitting that we did so in the 1915 Stanley Mountain Wagon (video clip is from the test run prior to today's memorial). The era of Tom Marshall has ended, but thanks to his foresight and generosity, the era of operating steam cars and open lands in Yorklyn endures -- with more memories to be made for countless generations. Godspeed, Tom!
