Originally posted by Lord Lucan Railway buffs might spot that it is missing some connecting rods. Good job it is battery powered anyway.
Those little trains are always a hit with the kids. I'm reminded of the little train that they have at the Nowthen Historical Power Association grounds and if you have kids (or grand kids) get there early and they give longer rides before the crowds build. That one isn't electric but has a diesel engine powering it. All sorts of stuff to see and experience there. One of my favorites is the 13,000 c.i. 2 stroke 5 cylinder diesel Fairbanks engine that you more feel than hear. There there are the people with the kenmore or maytag gasoline powered washing machines (I forget which but it may be both) with all the attachments like the meat grinder, butter churn, or ice cream churn.
