Say there was a 3’ narrow gauge critter locomotive. What would the dimensions probably be?
take your pick… http://www.trainweb.org/nzgearedlocomotives/ regards ralph I forgot to mention -two people on this forum have already built the Price 16 Wheeler. I have a downloadable set of instructions on how to build one. http://www.cabbagepatchrailway.co.uk/price16w.html
Wow![wow] Those are pretty cool, but I am looking for diesel critters
There’s a series of books called–fittingly enough–“Critters.” I think it’s put out by Maine 2-foot Quarterly, but I could be wrong. Lots of inspiration there. As for size, pick’em. You might also Google “Davenport” or “Plymouth,” as they made a number of small “critter”-esque diesels.

Okay as for the Davenport check this out: http://www.northeast.railfan.net/diesel97.html
Here is some on the Plymouth: http://www.northeast.railfan.net/diesel81.html
I’m feeling the inspiration![;)][swg]
One of my new favorite locomotives is the Palmetto Brick Railroad Plymouth(s). Unfortunately (I think) the RR closed early this year[:(]. If you research it at all it is pretty interesting- it is/was a 1.5 mile span of track from the plant to the clay pits. They have two 36" gauge Plymouths to move the side dump cars. It is a “push, pull” operation that uses link-and-pin couplers! It is/was said to be the last RR of it’s kind in the USA.
