Bruce Achor

Bruce Achor was a Chicago banker. He was active in the live steam hobby starting in the mid-1930's. He built a 7-1/2" gauge, 1-1/2" scale track along with a Hudson and other equipment.

Chicago area live steamers Walter Johnston and Emory Ohlencamp built their equipment to 7-1/2" gauge so they could run on Mr. Achor’s home track.

The Hudson and train shown in this photo were built by Bruce Achor and completed in 1948. As of 2011 it was owned by Dick Parker. This photo was taken at the Elliot Donelley Railroad in Chicago, Ill on 11 September 1965.
