Frank Foti, and Mitch Lane are the proverbial "brothers from different mothers." They possess a passion for trains, especially steam locomotives. They are members of the Lake Shore Live Steamers, and the Blueberry Railroad. Both are located just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. If it burns coal, causes soot, and builds steam, you may find them nearby! Frank has been making cinders for quite awhile too, and Mitch has been at it about as long as Marcel. Mitch has a professional mechanical engineering background, while Frank achieved his technical chops in the world of electronics. Aside from live steam, all of them are avid in the model railroad hobby too!
