I hear the train a comin!

Jeff built this engine all by hand! It took him just over two years to complete, which was on Oct.7th, 2007. It is a scale model of the United Verde Copper Company engine from Jerome, AZ.




This engine, Jeff's Dad built. It is the 4-6-0 "The ten wheeler," he named "Sequoia," in honor of his mother. It is riding on our backyard train trestle, about ten feet high!
Full steam ahead! We have a double-header here! Jeff's engine is steaming behind his Dad's engine, and Mr. Kent is the passenger :)




Jeff riding around the tracks with the "American" steam locomotive, built by his Dad, completed in 1991.
