The Bonanza model is made ready for the long ride to
Copper Center, early winter 1997:
These old
photos are interesting because they give you a sense of the size of this
particular model as it sits on the back of my Ford Ranger. The model was cut and
assembled in Fairbanks, then brought to Copper Center for detailing and ultimate
placement on the historic railroad layout. It was
early winter when I loaded this onto the truck--November of 97, if I remember
correctly.
It was a long run of 270 miles transporting this and another model you see on
this truck back to my new home (at the time) in Copper Center.
