The Andy Smith
Ancient kitbash, but who's it's daddy?
I picked this thing up at Reeds in LaMesa, CA 20 years ago.
I've never thought much of narrow gauge, but I think the workmanship impressed me with this little gem (and it still does by todays standards).
The main part of the carbody is a Tyco trolley and the front truck is a commercial part, beyond that it's some fine craftsmanship in wood and brass.
I knew it had some time behind it when I got it, but was surprised when I came across a photo of it in either Rail Classics or Railway Quarterly magazine from the mid 1970's.
Perhaps someone knows who the Arizona & Furnace Creek belonged to? If nothing else, their legend lives on in Americas Dairyland.
