Junction Valley Railroad , Bridgeport, Michigan-
Todays picture shows a 1/4 scale working train and the operator actually fits inside the cab. We took Nicole to ride this train a few times when she was young and it was always a fun afternoon.
I remember looking it over and wondering how hard would it be to try building one myself. As I get closer to completing the Cat Scraper model I will be finding out . Mine will be a few inches narrower and a couple feet shorter . But it will still be over 15 feet long. Mine will be a GP-40-2 style from the 70’s somewhat similar to this one in the picture.
Have a great Wed.
