Updated 02-03-2013. The 20th International Small Scale Steamup, Diamondhead 2013, was again held at the Diamond Resort in Diamondhead, Mississippi between January 13-20, 2013. Our host, Jerry Reshew initiated the steamups back in 1993. Other than 2006 when the aftermath of Hurricane Karina spoiled the show, Diamondhead has been a constant and welcoming respite from our everyday lives. This winter weekend event has now grown to a full week with 24 hour a day track time. There were three newly built separate elevated dual track layouts, with steaming bays that accommodated both 45mm and 32mm locomotives and rolling stock. At the center of each layout and along the perimeters were areas for viewing, tables for servicing, display areas, and fellowship. Special events included four seminars (“Lubrication” by Jerry Reshew, "The Cab Forward Locomotive" by Alan Redeker, and "A trip to the Austrian Railroad Museum" by Peter & Carol Jobusch), The Flea Market, the Drawbar Pull, Battery Powered locos, the Exhibit Hall, Thursday’s catered lunch, and Saturday Movie Night. One cannot talk about the Gulf Coast without mentioning their world famous cuisine. Evening meals at the Darwell's Cafe, the Shed, and breakfast at the Waffle House were memorable occasions.
