Nephi Man Builds Mini Steam Engines From Scratch

A Nephi man is turning his life-long love of trains into a reality by building his own steam engines, on a smaller-scale.

That is an amazing locomotive it looks like a 1/8 scale type engine the goose is correct that's the electric one. It's amazing he's building these engines with 7.5 inch gauge track or might be seven and a quarter

There are thousands of model engineers all over the world achieving amazing things.

Life is short. And there's no more of it, might as well make it than regret never done it.

4-4-0 American 🇺🇸 -Class is somewhat similar to Walt Disney's mini live steamer he had in 1950s at his estate, named "LILLYBELLE" for his wife, with older home movies from his 1950s t.v. show during when he premiered "Alici in Wonderland": and with other animators like Ward Kimball, Ollie Johnson, and Frank Thomas, and their mini live steamers helped influence the aspects that became DISNEYLAND in Anaheim. And the parts and castings are still available from the modern companies that took over the old firms of LITTLE ENGINES with this 1860 style 4-4-0. And Disney-type 4-4-0 modeled after the larger, and later, 1873 CENTRAL PACIFIC RR 173. And often these live steamers are use for special effect scenes in old West movies like B.T.T.F.3.
