Produced by Warren Taylor of Kansas City, Missouri, this beautifully crafted scale model was engineered to be fully functional and operates just like “the real thing,” with a firebox that can burn charcoal to heat water (provided by a tank car) in a tubular boiler and produce live steam. Alternatively, it can be operated on live steam. In either configuration, a separate car is provided for the “driver” to ride. The model was acquired by its present owner 37 years ago from the famous collection of Michigan steam car and Rolls-Royce enthusiast, Jack V. Frost, and has been displayed in his home ever since.
