Launched me down the path of modelling Colorado narrow gauge. Not in that order.

I still enjoy “revisiting” “Narrow Gauge in the Rockies,” by Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg. I long ago wore out the dust jacket on mine, as I’ve had it more than 60 years. I think you’d like it too–if you can find a copy.

This winter, I have discovered a new liking to an On30 set I’ve had for a while, enough to get it out of box, and get things running, it was used, with lots of run time.

Now running great. It’s a Bachmann 2-6-0.

I’m not ready to change gears just yet, even after riding on the narrow guage in Colorado. But if I ever did switch… On30 is a compromise, sure, too wide for Maine 2 footers and too narrow for the 3 footers elsewhere, but what’s (wait, I’m not going to say that)
