Abstract:

Jim Goble of Salisbury makes working train models from household items like jar lids and clothespins. He built his first replica in 1928, after becoming interested in the trains delivering mail to the Spencer Shops Roundhouse. Goble never worked on the railroad, yet his models are surprisingly accurate.
