I came and found this photo!!! I've been researching but no luck! I think it was a kind of narrow gauge light rail that belonged to an old cheese factory in my region! It comes to mind talking about these narrow railways and googling the word Decauville! It was a French builder of this type of light rails, easy to move and ***emble! But unfortunately I couldn't find exact information about that kind of Ford 32 locomotive!
Ashio Copper Mine in Japan had Fords, Model A based. The Hibberd Planet Model Y is English Ford 8/10HP based I've seen other Model A, Ford truck and 8N locos. That's my first Duce loco Mike
Just when you thought you've seen it all deuce related........but wait, there's more! Very cool, thanks for posting.
The now gone Excelsior Amu*****t Park near where I grew up had a kiddy train powered by a model A ford. Factory made I ***ume, by who I don't know.
Dude! With all of the defunct railroad tracks we have out here, one of those would be a flippin' riot. Throw a Hemi, a Caddy, or a Nailhead in that thing and go tearing up the countryside. Call it a '32 Rail-Roadster. Just gotta figure out how to rail and de-rail that thing to get it on the trailer to get it to and from the house. Hmmm... a car trailer with tracks perhaps? Could traditional railroad hot rodding become a thing? . I'll be back in a bit. I'm gonna go dig out my engineer's hat.
Ford has had a presence in Argentina and other South American countries since the early 1900s. I can imagine that they might have had their own narrow gauge rail systems in operation to move material and supplies around at their facilities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Motor_Argentina#:~:text=In South America, Ford's primary operations are in,***embly or other plants in the region. Ford also made major investments in Brazil in rubber tree farming in the hopes of growing and processing their own rubber. Apparently they were unable to profitably do so.
