Little Red Speeder on Somenos Trestle.
Year: 1981
Model: DS-LS
Manufacturer: Railcar Company, Lancaster Ont.
Most people will remember our little red speeder which was on display for many years in the Main Building. In 2019 it was removed, to make room for the new Forests Forever exhibit.
With that, Peter Davies engineer, track worker, and man of many talents along with volunteer Nolan Philp took it upon themselves to restore and convert it to narrow gauge. Completed in April, we’re pleased to say that they’ve done a wonderful job.
So ….. the next time you’re visiting us, keep your eyes open – you may just see Peter, Nolan, and the Little Red Speeder out on the track somewhere.
