Stanley Register Online - Early Tours and Meets Home Last update:
3/25/09



Tours are an integral part of  the Stanley operator's life.  They provide an unmatched opportunity to share
experience, learn, help others, and simply enjoy the pleasures of driving a steam car over the road.

The early tours were an important bridge, moving participation in the hobby from the early isolated aficionados to
a wider group.  Here are some records and photographs of those early gatherings,
