Kinetic Steam Works Railroad Handcar
Maker Faire Bay Area 2023
October 13th-22nd
Our entirely-shop-built narrow gauge railroad handcar features shop-cast aluminum curved-spoke wheels and cast-iron hubs. Attendees can pump the car down 100 feet of vintage 9-pound rail and feel like they’re on a real track maintenance crew. We’ll print commemorative collectible coasters on our 117 year old steam powered printing press. Our 26 foot steam launch “S.L. Victoria” will be on display as well as our 1898 Stanley Steamer Locomobile.
