Wish I could be there

I'm taking my Fuji GW690 and maybe the 4x5. Karen used to live nearby and went to all the events, she loves old things(probably why she likes me).

Sounds pretty cool. Closer to you, and I've yet to get there myself (it's a long drive from my corner of the state), is the Coolspring Power Museum with a wild assortment of infernal combustion engines which might be worth checking out if you haven't done so. They have some events during the summer where they run stuff. Apparently their ultimate machine is a 600 HP natural gas-fired gas compressor by Snow, used in the gas fields near Titusville in the past. (More details on that engine.)

Leaving for Pittsburgh in a couple of hours, hope to see a few of you at the steam show tomorrow.
