The North American Live Steamer, Volume 1, Number 6, 1956



Knowing this magazine is strictly for live steamers, I thought perhaps some of your readers might be interested in a model gasoline powered Diesel locomotive which I have completed early this year.

The body is made from 16 gauge steel and can be easily removed from the angl eiron frame for access to the mechanical drive which is friction similar to the early automobiles. The engine is a No. 9 Briggs & Stratton and has easily pulled a load of seven or eight hundred pounds gross weight.

The track which appears to be rough in the picture is T section fence posts. These are inexpensive and make good track and also switches.
