Fate - Root - Heath, Co. of Plymouth, Ohio Engine and Train

This Engine and Passenger Car of the Fate, Root, Heath, Company of Plymouth, Ohio was an attraction at the defunct Frontier Town in the Adirondack town of North Hudson, NY.  It was sold this past year with track and switches at auction.  I wanted it but where to put it?  I even offered to act as agent for any buyer but I found none at the time for this little jewel.  I don't know the details of sale but it is now history.  If any one out there in TV Land wants something like this in the future, let me know.  Another deal always surfaces.  But you need cash in hand and unhesitating candor.  Plus, shipping or delivery arrangements can be expensive and time consuming.  Seek and ye shall find is my belief.

Need a Boxcar or a Bridge?

You never know what one finds out and about on the back roads of old USA.  Several cars and caboose abandoned on a forgotten spur or a bridge to your Private Island. The limit to one's toys is only judged by pocket size of the boys.  I'm always willing to help spread the wealth.

Anyone Want to Create a Super Train Layout?

Well, I'm sure there is but you also have to be near Mechanicville (or want to travel on occasion) and want to work on this project more as a labor of love, hobby or Historic Preservation. I am seriously considering transforming my 38 North Main Street basement floor into a massive layout depicting the City of Mechanicville in HO Scale with the old Train Yard.  Naturally we can't do the whole of Five Square Miles plus (I only have a 30' X 60' layout space) ... but we can pick the dominate aspects of the area.  Like the Train Yard, the City proper, the Trestle Bridge over the Hudson River, the Champlain Canal and the Barge Canal that it replaced, also the West Virginia Paper Mill, Schools, Mills, and Brickyards.  I didn't think that was exciting enough either so I want to do it at the turn of the Century, say 1895 to 1915.  Oh yes, all in working order and full operation, naturally.  Add a Railroad Museum, Repair Shop and Gift and Book Store and you begin to get an idea of the scope of this dream project.  What a tourist attraction we could build. 

Anyone out there want to get involved in building a super Train Layout?
