Below: Train time at Iaqua station back around 2006 on Richard Heisler’s Mad River Short Line.
Locomotive 0, a steam dummy built by Mark Horovitz, is rolling in with a single trailer. The trailer was
built by Richard Heisler. Station master Hunt Huntley checks the orders as Leroy Jones finishes sweeping
the platform. Behind the loco a good crop of scale “apples” grow in the cotoneaster as a large bush of
miniature fuchsias screen the retaining wall behind the roof of the Tuxedo Junction tower. • Eureka, California
Crescents of light show partial
eclipse as the Moon crosses between
Earth and the Sun.
Circles of light show total eclipse.
Since the Heislers' moved in 2008, the MRSL is no more;
but the dummy lives on with Glen Simpson in Paradise (CA).

Accucraft UK Delivers its 1:13.7
'Diana' Kerr Stuart 0-4-0T
The Diana, built in 1909 but regauged for 2' rail in 1917,
worked on Kerry Tramway in Mid Wales and then in
two quarries until retirement in 1950. Various owners
worked toward restoration of this little locomotive until
Phil Mason brought it to the Vale of Rheidol Railway
shops. The restored Diana now runs on the Amerton
Railway outside of Staord, UK.
The 7/8ths scale model is gas-red and tted with a
water top up valve, water gauge, miniature pressure
gauge and lubricator. Constructed of stainless steel
and etched brass with a copper boiler, the locomotive
has an enhanced level of detail made possible by
1:13.7 scale including a brake stand/gas control valve,
dummy water gauges and sliding cab-sheet doors. It is
gauge-adjustable between 45mm and 32mm gauges.
The gas tank is concealed in the left hand side tank
with the ller hidden under a dummy coal load. The
Goodall top-up valve is hidden in the dummy sand pot
on the boiler.

When we announce the final Top 2023 Posts in the first 2024 edition of GR News,
we will also recognize garden railroaders who consistently posted great content across
social media channels. It will come as no surprise to anyone that
Shawn Viggiano
(Facebook) and Roger Nicholson (YouTube) will be two of them,
but who will join them?
As a certain Missourian said, "It ain't over 'til it's over,"
so any of these top 4 photos and top 4 videos can be
bumped by posts in November and December.

Out-of-Period Mystery
Maintenance Helper
Please advise location of sight gag
in its dormant stage mentioned in
Boom Car article as I have not been
able to identify it.
Carla Brand Breitner
Editor, Garden Railroading News
Not to give it away immediately, in all
the photos, what is the one item that is
not explained until the sight gag para-
graph? It shows in the rst photo and
the A-end/B-end photo at the B end,
but most clearly in the enlarged B-end
photo. It is the object below the tool box
adjacent to the shovel bucket.
It is a collapsed pit droid from Star
Wars and the Mandalorian. I have an
erect one that I sometimes put in the
ditcher or helping in a locomotive. It
catches the older kids eyes immediately as
do the dogs I put out on the tender deck,
the caboose platform, and sometimes
at an open boxcar door for the younger
kids. e really young children may not
quite get excited over a train, but they
all know and love dogs.

I thought the sight gag had to do
with the “hatch-turtle” on the deck
by the toolbox, but could not identify
it. In its collapsed shape, the pit droid
blends right in to the at car as well
as it "camoauges" in the movies/TV
series when it is scared.
