Powered by a 10 hp motor, the train is designated as a MT612 Model 109. The G gauge is also referred to as a 13 gauge, which references the 13’’ distance between the tracks on which it runs. For many years it has been under the care of Sylvester Fosdick Jr.

McGathering
Jim and Ruth McGreal have a LOT of high performance collectors cars (or back in the 1960’s they were called muscle cars). It started out as three cars. They ran out of room at the country home. Well, a building came up for sale close to Main Street (Locust St) in Chatsworth, their hometown. And, the purchase was made!
It was and still is a place to gather stuff, mostly Chatsworth memorabilia.
