Appendix205

In LOCOMOTIVES IN OUR LIVES Mr. Pennoyer tells the story of their early railroad adventures, of their later railroading exploits in various parts of the world, and of their devotion to the widespread hobby of miniature railroading. He relates the story with an eye to the picturesque and a lively sense of humor. He and his brothers, when still in knee pants, built their own gravity line out of packing cases and other bits and pieces. Later, one of them stole a locomotive and almost ran it into a brick wall.
