You seem to have been around the RR for a bit.  I was wondering if you could direct me on a piece of equip I have.  I  have a very heavy steel luggage tug.  It has a bench seat, bar steering, brake and forward peddle.  A large lantern light and is powered by a Thomas Edison large battery boxes.  The wheels are heavy and have molded rubber on them.  I don't know anything about this.  Any ideas   I can send you a picture if you would like.  seagleconst@aol.com

If anyone knows about this tug, please contact me.  I need info about it.

 

Thanks, KIM

Thanks for the comprehensive update on the Colorado Railroad Museum! I last visited over thirty years ago so I'll have to add it to my travel list.

Four years ago, I interviewed the Colorado Railroad Museum's then new Executive Director, Donald Tallman. We talked about his visions for the museum. I posted the article on my web magazine.


Two days ago, I was given the opportunity to visit again with Donald and learn how things have progressed and what is in the future for the museum.

Here is my report:
Is this any way to run a railroad museum? A second look
