Vancouver Island..Steam Power, 2 Cyl John Deere Cat and Railway Speeders

When I first found this property, the amount of heavy iron treasure was obvious. Lovingly placed around the large acreage were old cars and trucks, industrial machines of all sorts...mixed in with the owners tools of his business.
When I was photographing the old Merc pick-up truck ( what I thought was the last piece in the outback of the property ) I turned around to look down the hill behind me...and there I spied the shiny steam engine. Then the John Deere came into focus...and what I thought were "sheds" , were actually railway speeders.
Jackpot!

One of the other railway speeders on the property. I have decided that when I grow up and get rich and famous....I'm going to build a railway speeder line from the house out to the shop...maybe a scenic loop around the fish-pond. I'll need to add drink holders, a built in cooler, and a good stereo. I think that a nitrous set-up would be over-kill.
