Re: Cool website
now that's funny; just yesterday a friend asked me if i had heard of House of David. she had a customer at her sign shop mention it. story from him is that there are still a couple of engines at their place that they would like to sell.
i don't know how accurate this info is; just passing it along.

Re: Cool website
On www.discoverlivesteam.com , under "for sale" there is an ad for an almost for sale House of David train. It's about halfway down on the right side in the classifieds.

Oh, wow! Does that bringing back some childhood memeories! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/laugh.gif"%20alt="[/img] Thanks for finding and posting that website information.
I was born in Benton Harbor, and lived about a mile from the House of David park until I was 7. Then we moved to about 3 miles on the other side of it. We moved out of the state when I was 12. My mother still tells the story of my exclaiming "Moma! Hows Davy Trawn!" as a 2-3 yearold every time I heard the whistle blow while I was in my yard. I remember riding it too. I also remember the stone house, the light house, the 2-6-2 loco's, and especailly the large station that the train went into for load and unloading of pasingers. Just thinking about that place makes the whistle blow in my memory. It was lot of fun to go there. My attendence must have been in the last years of its operation, I was born in 1964. Thanks for recalling the memories.
As a side thought, isn't funny how we think time stands still in places we have left? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/confused.gif"%20alt="[/img]
