QUOTE: Originally posted by AMTK200 Cool Site and Bridge. How much wood did it take to do it and also will it ever be opened to the Public? The bridge is all steel except for the 2" x 12" x 16' planks on top ... 280' of them. Our railroad will never be open to the public per say ... but any train nuts are always welcome to just stop by. we also do a cancer society fund raiser about every 3 years. Host antique car & tractor goups, train groups, etc. Never a charge.
Jim .... I appreciate your words of encouragement .... I realized no one really thought a local hardware store small guage like ours was really from anywhere but Millville where we live ... but thought yours was a joke because of the star on the front .. As per the real Chinese engines being brought in I do see where you are coming from and have only the utmost respect for you and your position ... but .... I think any steam engine that can get the attention of our youth and get them hooked on steam
Well you can bet your sweet bippie that these engines did not come from China ... local built and designed from scratch ( ; > ) ..... Don't let the star fool you (grin) Both the steam and the (electric due to gearing) are very powerful and our new steam engine if everything works out will be even more so and much bigger ... the boiler is 1/2 thick steel ... same as most of the big ones ... Built to operate at 800lbs pressure .. we will only be using about 150 of that. It also has two 6" burner
