Actually, this is a <\/em>partial re-post of of an entry back in 2017. Ron Findley and I made another of our occasional forays to the Greater Baton Rouge Model Railroaders<\/em> club up in Jackson, Louisiana back in March of that year. There once was a small steam powered tourist railroad operation on the property, the Old Hickory Railroad. Unfortunately its operation has been suspended for many years now. The owner has a collection of derelict railroad and farm equipment, most of which is under an open shelter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under that shelter are three tiny Plymouth locomotives. They are still in various stages of disassembly, but a fourth had been restored shortly before our visit, and was parked out in the open. Naturally I documented the little critters, and earlier had posted photos of them, along with several other relics stored under the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented today is the restored critter (or as women would say, “that cute little thing”).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The front view of the locomotive. The club occupies a couple of the buildings off in the background. They have indoor N, HO and O scale layouts, and two outdoor G scale layouts, one electric and the other live steam. I wish they had rights to the full size railroad so we could take the Plymouth for a spin! \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"OHRR_Plymouth-2\"<\/a>
The rear view of the locomotive. A small part of the open shelter is seen here in the background. Its actual size is quite large.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
