Stafford & York Train Museum

[Super]

Because I have a tendency for the strange and unusual, I picked up a Stafford cheaply from Wally World. I want to customize and deface him so I had to do some interesting research. He is from the real North Staffordshire Railway hence his name. I always wondered how a train could be made of wood and the answer is that this is a 1917 (hence his number) electric shunting engine that gets its power from batteries and his top speed is 11 miles per hour. How good could battery's have been in 1917??? I know that most of you probably already know this from the Thomas series or Ucwepn's Video but I didn't and found researching him to be quite interesting.
