Very cool, I've seen some live steam models that aren't much smaller than that. Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

WOW, that railroad suffered financial problems all through its history. Each time, someone stepped forward and bailed it out. Very interesting story TrainNut.

The smallest workhorse revenue steam engine I've ever seen was in Fairbanks Alaska on display. It worked during gold mining days on the Tanana Valley Railroad narrow gauge.

Yup.
They also had a 2-4-4 #7.
@ years ago I got a ride in the 2 foot gauge 2-4-2 at Hesston steam museum in Indiana.
The track is dual gauge, 3 foot and 2 foot.
