He is said to have gone Wilbur Frey one better by not owning a lathe - wheels were made by drawing a circle on a piece of wood and carving to the line! Fortunately, his work has been collected at a museum in Ohio.

The Warther museum is incredible in and of itself. But they also have a cute little 36" gauge 0-4-0T on display in their parking lot. Please note the following photo:

The museum is in Dover, OH and their website is at:
