Ride a freight train on the In-ko-pah Railroad:

Enjoy a ride on the In-ko-pah Railroad, my unique, 1/24th scale outdoor model railroad! Climb aboard a freight train pulled by a 4-6-0 steam locomotive, and watch the beautifully detailed desert scenery roll by.
You'll see the ruins of abandoned mines and miner's cabins; and you'll pass through Dos Manos and Mineral Ridge -- two old mining towns. Thrill as the train crosses spindly wooden trestles and high plate girder bridges! Hear the locomotive as it chuffs through the darkness of the route's many tunnels! You may even catch a glimpse of the railroad's ancient Model T rail bus giving someone a tour.
The scenery was created using many tons of rock and concrete, all of it hauled in and cemented in place by myself. All of the buildings, bridges, and trestles are scratch-built. The 1/24th scale cacti, ocotillos, sagebrush and other shrubs are handmade. I also sculpted the miniature people, which are replicas of family and friends. The rail bus was scratch-built too.
