Tom Thumb & 25 cars

Here is my other engine. My 1 1/2 Tom Thumb. My grandfather built this engine from scratch in the 1970's. It was the first steam engine to run on this track. While it does not look very big, it is a great puller as the video shows. I am now in the process fo making a coupler for the front so it can be the perfect switch engine.

The long yellow car is a 80' flat car.
