Doepke Company of , Ohio, stopped making the Yardbird line of gasoline- and electric-powered backyard trains (track, engines, flatbed cars, track, ties and more), there were still people who wanted one. (The company had already discontinued the kid-powered Yardbird.)For those folks, it was either hope to find a used Yardbird or and unsold one in a retailer's stock--or do without. Some, like the the guy in this article, decided to make their own.That's right--build your own Yardbird! Gas or electric engine, tracks, etc. This piece shows and tells you how to do it.

The cover is ripped (as shown in the final image) and falling off. But the inside pages, especially the article of interest here, are in very good condition.USPS FIRST CLASS Shipping is included in the price for U.S. addresses.
