Train Set

My grandfather is quite into trains. He had one whole set at his house. Then he had another out at the retirement community, which he sold off and now he is working on a bigger gauge train that he is still building the back ground for. Many of the scenes of the train are based on Ohio train history.





The quarry.



The wheel actually turns. It was created from a wedding cake pan. In real life it was turned by hand by the men that ran the train so the train could go back the other direction.


The tunnel has a doors on it because otherwise back in the olden days the cows would go in!

The logging yard.

You're going to get a visit from Doc for sure now. e's made some nice train layouts over the years, but that one is something.
