1880's Class A Climax in operation!

Check this out! It was built as a replica using 1880's blueprints and is kept in Clarksburg, WV. I'll have to go see this thing sometime. I've always wanted to see a prototype for Randy's Climax in operation, but none exited to my knowledge. This replica is a fine example of one of the earliest Climax's built.

He's used chain drive in a couple places instead of gears, but it's appropriately sized and is the only thing like it out there that I have seen.
