Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government Selling Two Miniature Passenger Trains from the Louisville Zoo
September 09 2021 - 9:35AM
Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government is currently selling
two (2) 2012 Severn Lamb Miniature 24 Gauge Passenger Trains on
GovDeals, a leading online auction platform for government agencies
and educational institutions to sell their surplus equipment. A
longtime seller on the GovDeals platform, Louisville-Jefferson
County Metro Government is one of more than 15,000 sellers who use
GovDeals to help power the Circular Economy by selling valuable
surplus items online to approximately 4 million qualified buyers
worldwide.
Both trains were manufactured in 2012 by Severn Lamb, a
high-quality transport engineering company based in England. Upon
completion, they were delivered and installed at the Louisville Zoo
in early 2013. The miniature trains were added to an already
constructed train station and upcoming tunnels that took guests
around the zoo. The trains remained in operation until 2018, when
they were retired while still in working condition.
Each train comes equipped with a Kubota KV3600T diesel engine, a
tender, and three coaches. They are themed on a North American
steam outline design to run on a 2ft track. The locomotives are
operated with an engineer at the front and a conductor at the rear
and are ADA compliant. Both trains have a coach that is wheelchair
accessible. The miniature trains have a microphone connected to the
train’s sound system allowing the conductor to connect directly
with the passengers.
“We will miss the train at the Zoo,” said Louisville Zoo
Director John Walczak. “The trains have been part of many family
memories and we know they will continue to make special experiences
for guests at their new home.”
The miniature trains are at auction until October 28th and those
interested in purchasing the trains are encouraged to schedule an
inspection prior to placing any bids. To place a bid, potential
buyers must have a bidder account, new bidders can complete the
free and easy registration form at GovDeals.com/Register.
