Fostoria Ohio Steam Trains from the mid 1950′s (Show 4 of 7)

Great shots of the steam trains in Fostoria Ohio from the mid 1950′s. These are part of a show on B&O Steam Railroads which was filmed by Donald J. Krofta with his 16mm camera. Audio by Jim Hawk, narration by Danny Harmon. This is from a film/video available from Herron Rail Video (www.herronrail.com) along with many other quality trains programs. I am not associate with Herron Rail Video, but want to give credit to them for these great historic shots in Fostoria. Their B&O / C&O video has many other steam engines along the route through Ohio. I have added in some text descriptions of the locations in Fostoria where these were filmed. Please view my other Fostoria Train shows also.

How can you build a model steam engine from scratch? Is it even possible?

I have always been interested in steam trains, and since I can’t fit a real steam train in my room, (I am just a kid!) I would like to know how to build a model steam engine. Not the train part, just the engine that actually boils water and turns a wheel. Like one that would fit on a 6 inch long piece of plywood. My dad and I are always in the garage on weekends building some sort of contraption! So if it’s a challenge, we’re up for it! I would like full detail please! Thanks!

If an electric train goes from north to south. what direction does the steam go???
