The 1930’s Home Exhibit:



 
WHEELS is duplicating life in the 1930’s with an exhibit of  furnishings, appliances, literature, entertainment, etc., used during the heyday of the steam locomotive.

We’ve been generously donated several pieces of furniture as well as appliances, and we are looking for more.  If you have anything that might be used in this exhibit, no matter how large or small, please contact Leba (leba4 at aol.com <mailto:leba4 at aol.com>), or phone the museum at 505-243-6269 and leave a message.  WHEELS is also seeking volunteers to assist in the development of this project.  Interior decorating from 90 years ago will be a whole lot fun!


Report on the Silver Iris Passenger Train:




Work on the air brakes of the Silver Iris is moving ahead.  Numerous rubber hoses, heavy parts, and a great deal of expertise have gone into getting this beautiful 85 foot long, stainless steel private rail car ready to run.  

This car was donated to WHEELS, and we’ll certainly keep everyone informed about the improvements, developments, possible excursions, and visits to see this “baby” with eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms.   Think about “Rail Heritage Tourism."

New Exhibits When WHEELS Reopens:



Vintage Studebaker Automobile
Hand Built Race Car
Military Artifacts
Rare Crosley Automobile
World War II Harley Davidson Motorcycle with Side Car
Model Planes
Remote Control Planes
Full Size Ultra Light Planes
American Flyer Model Trainsle
