- Scale Model of the "Columbus" Steam Locomotive - Albert Fisher built this scale model of a 4-4-0 American-type steam locomotive. Its tall driving wheels mark it as an engine designed for fast passenger service, while its style and <i>Columbus</i> name suggest it was patterned after a locomotive of the early 1890s. The brass-and-wood model likely was coin-operated, with a separate motor that moved its rods and wheels.
