It's an 0-4-0 fireless cooker if that means anything to anybody and he even laid down his own track to run it on.

Now that's something you don't see everyday. How much did it run him? Is it some kind of hobby for him?

Its been his hobby since he was like 12 or something, hes been a license engineer for 25+years....he split it with a friend and I think it cost them a total of $3000 each, but it needs a major overhaul. They've been running it on air because steam+weak boiler=disaster. I used to do the train stuff too, i worked at small railroad and learned how to weld, use a milling machine, lathe, drill press and all kinds of **** ill probably never do again

Nope my dad's been an train engineer for 10 years probably, he would be extremely jealous

Is that an ex car in the background?
