Here's a real relic from the past. Originally British Cordite #4, a 36" gauge Vulcan. Six ton. Previously was on the property of C.I.L. as their #4 in Nobel, Ont. It began life anew as part of a display of I believe 4 flat cars and one boxcar, all 36" gauge, set on rail at what was called "The Sundae Express", an ice cream and snack business next to the high school and across from the Town & Country Motel on Joseph St in Parry Sound. I recall seeing this for the first time in 1984 and a few years later most of it was gone as the business faltered. Too many winter months and not enough summer, I'd guess. I have no idea where this little gas locomotive ended up and am curious.  Anyone?
