Description
This steam locomotive is one-eighth the size of prototype railroad equipment. The rails are spaced 7-1/2 inches apart. This means the trains are a comfortable size to ride on, but not too big to transport. The engines weigh anywhere from 100 to 2000 pounds, and can pull from one to 50+ people, depending on size. There is a wonderful track in Columbia, TN where these operate, complete with crossings, bridges, etc. Very fun! :) The blue you see in the upper right of the picture is the seat. This particular one actually uses coal. So neat.

Okay, Chris, uploaded two photos. I thought you might get a kick out of seeing the boiler anyhow. It's pretty neat.

Oh yeah, and I wondered why you had two contests going for this. I saw some really wonderful images uploaded yesterday with trains by Mike Savad. If you haven't seen them, recommend you take a look.
