Steam Power
This is the Rogers steam locomotive built in Paterson, NJ in 1892. It is now on static display in Havana connected to the tender of the Central Josefita Railroad.
The scale of trains amaze me, the old one are beyond comprehension. How did they make such a massive piece of machinery work so smoothly without the precision tools we enjoy today?
Like the old cars, a real great front and with some work going again I pressume.
