I think I can answer the unknown photographer on this, the Ladder, and the Scope, all photographed at the Hershey Parade, back in the early 90's by myself. I am at work and would have to look through my slides but I am 99% positive they are mine. Not sure why I am patting myself on the back for parade photos, but I think I posted those on centralpafire back a couple years ago in a LONG central pa relics type thread.

These are not the same 2 engines. The top photo is mine and was taken somewhere between 1988-1993 at Hershey's parade, as was several of the photos you posted. The engine in the top photo is a Hamerly, the engine on the bottom, I think is an American Lafrance. Again since I am at work I don't have information available to me.

in the post after this, of the other Highspire Ford C engine, that one was sold to Lairdsville, Lycomiong county and has since been placed out of service and I believe sold for parts to local farmers.

Scott:



I am new to this site. I appreciate all of the photographers taking their time to shoot and post the variety of apparatus that are on this site.



It is because of folks like you and the other photographers that have an appreciation for apparatus that keep threads going and get new threads started.



Hats off to you and the rest of the folks.
