Different line this time. Again, this video is offered as inspiration to scenery on building a layout. Here we start out at an engine terminal, and coach yard nestled in a neighborhood. I know trees are easier to model than buildings, streets, curbs and all that other infrastructure, but the way this line snakes it's way through backyards and along creeks and parking lots offers a different perspective than your usual rural narrow gauge line. And no tourist line/museum this. Halfway through the steamer takes to a passing siding, and a revenue diesel hauled passenger train goes by in the other direction.

Interesting modeling possibilities using Bachmann's On30 line. Want some exotica? Move it from America to South America or somewhere where Baldwin, etc, exported their narrow gauge offerings to.

Speaking of Bachmann, They produce Branch Line Trains, a British outline HO line, and Lilliput, their European line, why can't they produce some of these prototypes in On30 for both the British and European modelers?

 

Gosh, I got long winded. here's the video.

I think I've seen that engineer set up in one of the parking lots at York...seriously,

Beebe and Clegg would have loved to have seen that!  Coaling the bunker by hand

and sanding by hand...would give the front office bean-counters fits.  I would ride

and explore that in a heartbeat!  Can't read a word...but, the crossbucks look like

crossbucks,  they drive on the right side of the road, and probably use international road signs.  I guess it's some modified form of "link and pin" couplers.

Really enjoyed that.
