These exact type cars were at Camden Park in Huntington WV. As a kid it was my favorite ride. The park is still there some 50+ years later....as are the little train cars.....but now an employee pushes the kid around the track in place of the hand crank......kinda sad....running your own train was the fun!!!! But my grandkids did get to ride the same ride I did.......

We had those at Kennywood park too back in the day but the park said it was too maintenance heavy to keep.  Shame cause when I was a kid, and when my kids were still kids, that ride was a favorite of ours too.

With the 'precision railroading' operational program in full swing, leaders like NS SD70M 2617 are getting tougher to find. It's seen leading 201 through Christiansburg, VA

Knoebels  Amusement Resort in Elysburg, PA still has hand cars.   My son and I are too tall to ride!  

That's where I first remember them from.  They have them at Hershey Park as well I believe (though it's been a few years since I was there when my daughter was small enough to ride them).  Come to think of it, I remember her riding them a few years ago at Strasburg as well.  

I’m working on the long retaining wall between the grade and the industrial area above. As with the small wall I recently posted, the wall and vertical pieces are 1/8” Masonite (hardboard) and the cap is 1/4” MDF. I’ve already glued the cap on, and today I’ll glue the vertical trim pieces in place. Then I’ll break all the edges (lightly sand) to get it ready for primer. The paint will adhere better than if all the edges were sharp. After that, I’ll spray paint it with the textured Desert Bisque I’ve been using and install it. Then I’ll give it a dark wash. It’s all one piece, and measures about 81” in length. The last picture shows where the wall will be installed. After the wall is in, I’ll put some basic ground cover down.
