Engineer Rick Sisson takes some happy passengers for a spin in the WW&F Ry Museum's newest piece of motive power -a home-built 2-foot gauge railcar. Built by restorer and craftsman Leon Weeks, the WW&F Ry Museum's new Model T Railcar has been a labor of love for nearly five years. Based on an original Sandy River design, and sporting an authentic 1923 Ford Model T front end and drive train, the railcar also incorporates meticulously sculpted woodwork of oak and ash, and elegantly spoked wheel centers patterned by none other than Bernie Perch. The railcar is equipped with its own turning mechanism, which can be seen hovering above the railhead as the car glides along the museum's mainline. www.wwfry.org
Pace and pan shots of trains from on the ground or in the air. If you're not in the locomotive cab or on-board the train, it's the next best thing to being there.
