Garrett, I offer this idea with tongue-in-cheek, but somewhat semi-seriously. Why not build a light weight 2-axle horse car? Harness horses are relatively readily available and much cheaper than a locomotive, not only to buy, but to feed and maintain. A good many successful urban transportation systems got their start that way. I think you'd have something quite different to offer the public, and it would help you get started. Might help hold off the trails crowd for a while at least. -- Ed
