Nice. I still have one I put on the track that my dad or grandpa ran over in the 1950's. Both were yard engineers at the time. Do you keep yours?
@alurid Hard to say Strasburg Rail Road no. 90 (ex: Great Western) is a 2-10-0 "Decapod" So at least the first wheel as I have no Idea when it fell off the track. On side is very thin about 0.4 mm the other appox. 1.0 mm
It pretty cool that you know that train # that made the modifications. I have several RR tokens, But none of them are attributed. The first coin I ever found metal detecting was a RR token cent, found less than 50 feet from a unused spur line.
Folks been putting coins on the track for a long time. Found this 17?? Draped Bust cent in a handful of copper culls.
Shoot Dennis.......you acting like a kid again? We used to put cents and nickels on the rails but they was Century (Alco) 420's running over the rags.........
