C & R Railroad Museum is part of the Huck Boyd Community Center in Phillipsburg, Kansas. The museum is only open by appointment and the day we visited the museum, we were met by three docent engineers: Bill Schick, Merlyn Schick and Mike James. Before seeing the museum, they showed us around the community center, which has an impressive 500 seat theater and a reproduction of Huck Boyd's office. Mr. Boyd was a politician and newspaper publisher.
The C & R Railroad is a large O-scale layout that includes a community, 57' mountain range, 1,200' of track, 94 engines, 170 cars and 34 cabooses. They showed us many of the specialty cars and buildings and ran several of the trains for us, giving Linda a chance to operate a train. The room also houses 136 railroad lanterns and other train memorabilia.

The machine is located just East of the entrance. It is visible when you come into the museum. Designs are:
1 is The Huckleberry Line with a train
2 is C& R Railroad with a train
3 is Bill Clarke Studio with a photographer picture and
4 is Lionel Icing Station with a ice house picture.

9/08/2020:Machine location is the same. Rolling good on copper. Take your time when rolling, line the wheel a little past the each dot to get a good roll other wise you will only get half the penny.
Call a couple days in advance to set up an appointment to view the museum. C&R Rail Road Museum is located inside of the Huck Boyd Community Center phone number and address are the same as listed above. Neat little place to visit.
Added images of pennies. CLK
