It's only a whistle and a whimsy down the street from your house. The. tiny jtpwn.was founded, built and administered by a two-man commission, Russell Tilton and small son, Michael.!. . Tiltonville is the capital of the "world" housed in the basement of the Tilton home at 388 S. 5th W. You may go as far as your fancy permits on the Tiltonville train which makes a picturesque run at any hour over hill and' vale, past tihy lighted churches, homes, orange groves, through tunnels tun-nels and over bridges. ; 1 j It has taken the "city dads" two years to build Tiltonville. Tilton-ville. The ingenious builders have considered all the needs of the miniature town. The very existence of the place is dependent upon the Tiltonville trains which bring coal, lumber, lum-ber, oil, freight' and passengers into the busy vilage. Real logs and real coal are included in the cargo of the small .train which dumps the coal in piles in the local coal yard. - ' Beautiful Tin Can "... The train' takes on water from a bright-red tank, for all the world the picture of its big brothers known to every railroad fan. The Tiltonville tank, in its original state, was a plain old tin can retrieved from a sad pile of junk.. Now it stands proudly in Tiltonville with a gleaming ladder and automatic spout which moves down to water the thirsty engines. , . . . The sounds in Tiltonville are nostalgic. There's the call 6f the conductor's "all aboard" as e'ach train moves out, and his calls of inviting destinations to plague the itching feet of the traveler who must be a "stay-at-home." ' . ' Mayor Rules the Sun As the trains move out of Tiltonville station, the 'whistle can be heard across sunlit valley or across the star-filled star-filled night. Day or night comes in the town at the will of the city fathers. The sun can go down as easily at 10 a. m. as at 6 p. m. and the town can blaze forth with street-lights, crossing signals and even airbeams to guide a tiny plane to safety, should it chance down Tiltonville way. ... ; , First lady of the town is Sheryl Tilton, 10-year-old daughter , and sister of the two-man commission. Sheryl takes pride in the cultural side of the town where school, church and fine homes lend dignity to the necessary commotion com-motion of the small business world. No Heart Too Old . Isolation of the town through railroad ' equipment break-down, is averted by a real round-house in which locomotives loco-motives may be repaired. There is a turn-table onto which .the engine moves automatically. 3 : . ' . True, any visitor larger than a mouse would find, it impossible to ride on Jhe TitonyjJle' Express, bjitiiever -was human heart too old or tired to climb aboard and travel in fancy 6ver the singing rails with a little toy train. .
