Heisler Live Steam
Prototype Information
Heisler No. 3, a three-feet, was built in 1900. Listed as builder’s No. 1041, it carried
160lbs. boiler pressure, weighed 74,000lbs., and has 14,000lbs. tractive effort. In 1947,
this engine was converted to standard gauge and served as the mill switcher for many
years. The only change required to make the conversion was the substitution of longer
axles. #3 now has been fitted with narrow gauge wheels, again, and is in operation on
the Roaring Camp & Big Trees R.R., a tourist pike at Felton, California.
