We run our D&R Railroad Train trailer at Ozark Steam-O-Rama and Antique Tractor show in Republic Mo. We run trains for 4 days, so I wanted to create another load for Steam show
train display. So I drew up a hit and miss engine similar to the Galloway model, this one is a 2 speed, the outside pulley can be removed to use the smaller pully, to provide more
power but would be slower.
I design the trucks that can be used on short cars, the axels/wheel are set as close together as possible to fit and look better on shorter cars. I make a one piece 8" car or a 2 piece 10"
car. The 2 piece car is easy to glue together, especially if covered with a thin wood skin, or placed in a boxcar setting.
