For those that like trains

[John Rist]

I have a good friend that is big into trains.  So big that he has built his own live steam engine. Dexter McClure and his wife Joyce are to only people in Huntsville Alabama that has a train track running around there yard.  He is also into HO and has an impressive layout.  Needless to say he is a master machinist and also darn good welder.
Pictures attached.

That is awesome.  My sister in-law has a neighbor who has a working train in a small size on his property with several tracks and routes he uses to give rides to people.  I don't know what he charges.  If I remember right he has three trains he runs.

PS the 9321 number on the engine is the build was started in 1993 and the was completed in 2021.
