  • Are you sick of being met with blank stares

when you say "Lucius Beebe"?

​

  • Have you read Mixed Train Daily so many times you could

​                             recite it by heart–even while "taken in wine"?

​

  • Does "T-Bone" mean much more than a steak to you?

​

If so, you've come to the right place.

 

Spare your well-meaning but disinterested loved ones and members of the general public of yet another screed on Lucius Beebe ("Who?").

 

Come play show and tell with your awesome Lucius Beebe collection, finds, personal photos and experiences here instead. Share your personal Beebe photos here.

Showoffs

Beebe was never shy about ostentation.

 

Here's your place to strut your Beebe stuff with fellow fans.

Lucius Beebe's Trousers

Big Pants to Fill

Beebe fan (and look-a-like)

Jeff Sumners pays a call to Beebe & Clegg's former home in

Virginia City, Nevada.

​

The owners busted out a Lucius Beebe owned overcoat (shown here on Jeff) and pair of trousers!

'The Gilded Cage'

The Gold Coast, Beebe & Clegg's first of two private railcars they owned, on display in all her glory at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento.

 

It's mostly still decorated as it was when Beebe & Clegg used it!

A Good Sign

Now writer & historian Taylor Hamby's got Beebe's over-sized overcoat on.

​

Here's Jeff & Taylor in front of an original Territorial Enterprise sign from the 1950s at the former Beebe-Clegg manor in Virginia City, Nevada.

Champagne for Breakfast?

Here's Taylor properly fueling up with her Lucius Beebe Life magazine cover coffee mug before a day of research in the Beebe collection at the California State Railroad Museum.

 

Is that coffee or champagne in that mug? What would Lucius do?

Room for Lucius & Chuck

There's a Lucius Beebe-themed room you can stay in at the Cobb Mansion B&B in Virginia City, NV.

 

It's next door to the Beebe-Clegg Mansion and proprietor Connie Carlson knew Lucius & Chuck!

Make Mine a Double

Jeff does his best Beebe after a few highballs at the bar in Piper's Opera House in Virginia City, Nevada.

 

It's easy stumbling distance from Beebe & Clegg's former home which they dubbed "John Piper's House".
