Services offered are custom live steam engine stands and rolling stands. I manufacture and weld custom stands for any gauges. Please inquire for pricing.

Typical stands have forklift pockets inside the centers, and can have optional heavy duty pneumatic wheels added.
This is a not for profit railway built on private property with views of the entire Santa Cruz bay all the way to Monterey on a clear day. Upper areas cruise by a 4 acre lake, while lower areas are woodland. Individuals who have donated to the railway get to use the track on scheduled days. Guest use is 50 dollars per entry. Please bring all supplies and if using coal you must bring water and extinguisher for safety reasons.
We do not have holiday rides that are scheduled at this time.
If using or riding on the track a liability of release for the property and track must be signed, as well as individual liability if you damage the track or cause any fires must be signed for with a copy of state id. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for non wear and tear damages or burns on the railway if repairs are needed. We do not see this as a issue unless major damage or accident occurs.
The grades here are considered experienced. There is 0-5% grades all in short sections but not for the faint of boilers. The grades are not long distance and level out from section to section, however the railway is designed for trains that can handle this. There is approx 1000ft +/- to play with and will be finished end of 2023 for guest use.
Please contact us if you would like to volunteer for the installation of extensions of this track. most of the work has been completed but we will always have plans to make expansions. If you want to donate to our children's riding club our paypal is minidragracing@gmail.com you will receive free rides as a thank you.

The lake onsite is a private lake and is to not be disturbed or fished without written consent. the Lake is fully stocked with ancient bass sizing from 6" to 24" and can only be fished with barbless hooks. likewise if you aren't family there is a fee to fish the lake to maintain the water and shore costs as permission is prohibitive based on how much I like you.
