Hesston Steam Museum - July 2024

Paid a visit to the Hesston Steam Museum on July 14th, 2024. The museum was operating the Czech Republic built 0-4-0T and 14" Kiddieland Limited "Challenger" 4-6-4 throughout the afternoon.

Kiddieland Limited my beloved

I absolutely LOVE 😍 the little "Kiddieland Limited" Challenger 4-6-4! - assuming that it was built as an amusement park locomotive, delighted to see that it's been preserved & is running! 😎 Looks like it's styled somewhat after New York Central's streamlined Hudsons. Both it & the Czech 0-4-0 have impressive whistles & "stack talk"! 😀

It’s nice to see that Czech Republic tank engine back in service as a kid I grew up seeing her from all the train footage from I love toy trains specifically I love toy trains part one and part six she has an amazing sounding Baldwin three chime whistle that sounded good in I love toy trains part one
