Ore Cart
Posted by Simon
I want a reproduction ore cart to store and display the rocks I have collected over 30 years.
I saw this one at Cactus Joe’s in Blue Diamond near Las Vegas but it was not for sale.
I also found one on the internet but it was “half size” and $700 plus freight.
BTW Cactus Joe’s is a super place if you like petrified wood, rocks, cacti and giant pots. It’s a very pleasant diversion from the usual activities in Las Vegas. It is about ten miles south of Red Rock Canyon.
I think someone who built 30 ore carts could sell them for about $800 each at places like Cactus Joe’s. The main trick would be to find the wheels and track. The rest could be easily fabricated.

I talked to my brother Matt who is in the railway business and there might be a possibility here.
