Lee Wright and Lee's Trains - An IBLS Wandering Locomotive Book - 14 June 2013
Preface
- I first learned of Lee Wright in 2000 while searching the Internet for ideas on constructing a 1.5 inch scale diesel locomotive. I found Lee's website and was immediately fascinated by his construction methodology. His locomotives looked as solid as a Sherman tank.
- I wrote to Lee with questions, and not only did he reply, but he took the time to sketch a drawing and send to me.
- After Lee's death the “Lee's Trains” website disappeared. Luckily most of it was preserved on Archive.org. A few of the photos are missing, but the information preserved in this document is priceless. His work is worthy of preserving for future generations of live steamers.
