cleanerg6e Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 This maybe stretching the rules a bit far as this locos gauge is On30 like narrow gauge O gauge. It is O gauge but runs on OO gauge track. In real life this loco didn't survive and there were only two steam rail motors of this type. No.1 was mounted on a plinth for many years and is now having a new boiler made for her. She is on the Pichi Richi Railway in South Australia which has a gauge of 3'6". In Yorkshire speak she really is a "little ditty" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleanerg6e Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 The purchase of that model Griff gave some money to the real steam rail motor which is undergoing a major overhaul. So it's a worthy cause. It's like when I bought the Bachmann model of 75069. A percentage of the price went to help pay for the cost of overhauling the real loco. Roy.
