BIY “Crank” Elevated Track | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

ElgauchoOGR Forum Member

Inspired by the Ives(?) Elevated cast iron toy train from the late animator/toy collector Ward Kimball, I once built this self-cranked EL from old Erector set girders and “O” track. The best part is if you’re missing an engine, just run one or two coaches and crank away!! They’re like subway cars of NYC or Chicago.
