WALTHAM, Mass.–Local youngsters get a big kick out of riding on the miniature railroad built by W. H. Nichols. The little locomotive, named Ella Cinders, is 3 feet long and 18 inches high, runs on 60 pounds of steam pressure, develops 2 horse power and does 10 miles an hour around its 220 yard track, replete with tunnels, bridges and stations. Charles Purinton, 10 years old, is the engineer, and he’s kept busy pulling the small observation coach filled with town boys and girls around and around. Every day is Christmas in the Nichols back-yard
