While sorting through old files, I came across this catalog. It's a little off topic from our usual full-sized railroad preservation, but still of interest.

Both of the locomotives shown here were built at the Dells for the Milwaukee Zoo; the 82 is now back at the R&GN. I must say that 45 MPH for a 15" gauge locomotive seems rather unrealistic.
Don Ross has a complete page listing every locomotive built by Sandley here.

I had such a deprived childhood, I was never able to buy anything from this catalog. But I can remember wishing!
