Motorized track speeders

Dont do it mark. As some one who has taken apart and rebuilt many speeders I will tell you there is ALOT of engineering and forthought in those simple machines. Your far better off from a SAFETY,$$$ and sanity standpoint to buy a REAL speeder rather than concoct some contrivence. Speeders are an expensive and skill needed hobby to keep you SAFE and haveing fun. Also, if you build it yourself, forget NARCOA runs cause they dont let hombuilts out on there runs and the “safety”[8] commitie at STM wont let speeders on our rails anyway. Also, I have seen alot of people buy a frame and toss an engine on it…you know where those end up??? The side of the tracks and getting towed home…like this car below. STM has a woodings car out back that aint doing much of anything, tell Peter Wilson to get off his posterior and sell it you. [:p]

MikeSanta,
You might check with the New Braunfels RR club. I know they’ve had speeder trips along a short line around Gonzales.

If you’re near Flatonia this Saturday there should be 2 or three speeders at our pavilion party.
