The Speeder Trailer Cars Prove their Worth!

This photo shows the rail carts that we built over the last winters under the teams guided by Dave Wetherald. Each of these were built on an original speeder trailer chassis. All three carts are being used to move our equipment around as we build the miniature railway, carrying everything from rail ties, pry bars and shovels to generator, power cords and buckets of bolts. Start-up and clean-up are much easier and faster with the three carts, each cart allowing us to move tools to where we need them as well as allowing us to quickly store them away safely at night when we are done. They have eliminated a lot of wasted time that would have been needed to carry items by hand all day. This leaves us more time to work on the tasks at hand.
