Really ! I wonder if you remember how much they were asking for both
of them? I have never seen them here anywhere ...our kids here today
are ..well the rights groups would be after me, and ...hmm I leave it
to your imagination my thoughts on the kids today...other then WHIMPS.
Barry ... I am after a riding train, such as I have seen at fairs
and steam shows. Not too big some powered by wood or oil, and
the engine sort of sits on the tender and enjoys the trip.
Downside from what I have heard, is the engines are homebrew in
some cases, and tracks are ordered from a metal place...so might
be a long process of getting it all together and I wanted to place
it in the phoney pioneer village our town created, but with
real buildings from the area including the railway station.
We also want to with other railway buffs setup and operate the
telegraph of which some parts are there. The local engines and
familys that were railway are interested too, as one is terrific
in the railway reunion key competitions...so we have him to set
most of it up.
Thanks for the posting ...

PS: Just visited a few sites, where engineer is even cramped into
a small driving cab, as well the seat on the tender...really nice!
