4014 going backwards with Ed behind the throttle , letting that whistle blow! Behold! On our FB page a 32meg Backyard Railroad poster of our little slice of Train heaven here on earth free to look at or download. Save the image and zoom in for the details.
Some info that a lot of people are asking about it. 7.5 track at a tight 22 foot radius. Only small cars like the 1.5 scale ones we made will run on it. Except for the trucks and diesel grill, we made everything out of recycled wood and other materials. Runs on two 12v batteries at 24 volts for about two hours before needing charged. Hope you like it! Have you ever rode one of the Omaha Zoo trains and tried real hard to see inside the shop as you went by? Well here is a small peek! A while back before we had other financial concerns I got in on a run of USED BIGBOY 4014 parts. They arrived today!
These are 4014's original super heater clips. New ones were used to replace these original ones. Imagine the history they could tell. Signed by Ed Dickens himself! The clips still retain their makers logo and part numbers! Going to frame the certificate with a shelf underneath holding the clips. |
