Note: I found the above info on-line - thought it might be interesting - I have no connection with the Goldlineproducts.com. Company. Just threw out there for 'ya!
Way too cool. I watched the second video first and will watch the other one later. Noted the mention of the Edison-Ford Museum in Ft. Myers, Fl. We have been there. Neat place. He also mentioned the Georgia Agriculture Museum and the Lehigh RR shops. Would love to visit them. Looking forward to Irish's comments. The Tweetsie RR shops need some steam powered machines. I plan to show them this post next month.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it! I just love those old machines. (Hubby was a machinist and ran the old Brown & Sharpes). The Mundy Hoisting Company also made steam train engines. Might have to do a post about that one! :o)
