Frank & Ollie  >  Ollie's Page

Ollie is considered one of the world's leading train enthusiasts. The backyard of his home boasts one of the finest hand built miniature railroads in existence.

Even more impressive is the Marie-E a full size three foot gauge, antique locomotive that he purchased in 1965.  He restored it in his drive way over a period of two years.

He and Marie purchased forty acres of land in Julian, Ca where he and his sons laid three quarters of a mile of track.  Ollie added a fourteen foot, four wheel caboose patterned after one he had seen in Colorado.  He also built a flat car which could hold close to twenty passengers.
