Hello Incline lovers every where. 12" to the foot scale my favorite is Angles Flight in LA ...but in a smaller scale ..an Incline was cataloged in 1897 by Carlisle and Finch ( makers of 2" gauge trains ..1896-1915 ..still in business making searchlights today) . C& F was based in Cincinnati... unknown if there were any inclines there...or the next big market was Pittsburgh which had inclines to model after . Unfortunately no known survivors of the original C&F incline have surfaced as of 2-25-2017 10:22pm ... however a very talent collector / craftsman did build two copies of the C&F Incline working from the one sole catalog illustration ....he did a marvelous job.

The model does require a fair bit of layout real-estate..being 42" long ...and about 30" tall overall ...

Cheers Carey
