Posted by Picasa
You have to see this place to appeciate what Ernest Warther--with a 7th grade education, achieved in
the train models he carved. Engineers studying plans for these engines can find no error in the reproductions.

Some moels contain 8,000 hand carved parts. Warther even invented and built his own carving knives, Warther knives are manufactured there to this day, and are for sale. Dover is south of Canton--about 20 miles.
