Gary Lassiter has started work on the 5" to the foot scale (nearly 1/2 the size of the prototype) 4-4-0 American Steam Loco, It was purchased from Dennis Stockton shown at left who was unable to finish it.

The engine runs on 24" gauge track and can hall several cars and over 50 passangers. With 100psi steam it should make over 700 pounds drawbar pull.

Happy to have the loco back in Riverton after 20 hour drive.

Gary has a lot of work ahead of him to get the engine running and 1/4 mile of track layed.
