  • Norman K. Sandley of Janesville, Wisconsin, sent us this picture of his 15 inch gauge locomotive. She is a real hauler with 783 pounds of tractive force. Cylinders are 4-1/2 inch bore by 6 inch stroke. Drive wheels are 20-1/2 inch diameter. In a future issue, Norman promises to tell us more about this locomotive and the Riverside & Great Northern Railway System where it operates. He will tell about his plans for a real useful railroad in this small gauge, which is somewhat different than the usual business of hauling passengers only. From "The Miniature Locomotive", July-August 1953.
