Russian enthusiast builds his own steam train mini-railway
For Pavel Chilin, building his own railway was the fulfillment of a childhood dream.
It took the 62-year-old electrical engineer more than 10 years to build a 350-meter-long narrow-gauge railway twisting through the grounds of his steads about 50 kilometers (some 30 miles) outside St. Petersburg. It has various branches, dead ends, circuit loops, and even three bridges...
He and his friends are now busy building a steamboat and are also planning to make a steam plane...
