And sister Sharon has also been known to 'show off' Roscoe's engines at the reunions.

'I'll never forget the time Mildred Ary (the only lady who up to that time had balanced a steam engine on the teeter-totter), was having a time of it balancing Harold Ary's big Garr-Scott,' chuckles Roscoe. 'Sharon then drove our little 12-horse Garr-Scott up onto the teeter and balanced it right off. 'As Iron Man Roscoe Shiverdecker says it' There's nothing like steam-once it gets into your blood, and it's been in mine ever since I was a kid in rompers.'

And as we say it 'A seat of honor to Iron-Man Roscoe Shiverdecker in our Iron-Man Hall of Fame for his tireless energy in rebuilding and repairing, as well as preserving so many prototypes of the historic Iron Horse-. Also our praises for planning and building the R. D. S. Special No. 9- and running it 'on time' to all the parades and reunions.

If  the railroad wouldn't give him a locomotive to run he just up 'n made one. From plowboy to railroad engineer that's Shivvie up there, tootin' his whistle 'n wavin'.
