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. http://cgi.ebay.com/OH-DOVER-RAILROAD-L ... dZViewItem |

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: http://www.warthers.com |
