Post subject:  Help, In Search Of.....

I am curious of the where a'bouts of two pieces of equipment that my grandfather once had. The first one is a 12 and 5/8" Cagney that came from the Tolchester Park in MD. It was an 1898 Cagney and had an oversized boiler and at the time we had it had a very tall stack on it and had "Joy Line" written on the tender. Anybody know where it is?

The second piece is really unique. It was a replica of the Toonerville Trolley. It was built to run on the same track as the Cagney mentioned above. It was big enough to haul up to 4 adults (as memory serves) and stood probably a total of 6+ feet tall. It actually ran and was pretty cool. Last I had heard it was in the Philly area and possibly converted to run on tires.

I have searched my grandfathers records and I can't find any records of who he sold either piece to. I am sorry that I don't have the ability to include photos with this message, but both of these trains are unique enough that if you saw them you would remember them. Thanks for your input!
