Fellow Forum member, Sean McGillicuddy, suggested that links be provided for my articles.
Articles include 1/29 scale American standard gauge locos, rolling stock, and turnout (track switch) products from Aristo-Craft, USA Trains, American Main Line (AML) and LGB. There are many articles that describe body mounting "G scale" Kadee centerset type couplers.Since there is a large quantity of articles, it would be inappropriate to duplicate them on LSC.
Greg Elmassian hosts them on his Web site in groups of pages, with 10 articles per page.
Greg established a descriptive page entitled "Ted Doskaris' Vignettes" from which easy clicking access is provided to any given page of articles.

The loading gauge for the locomotive's body was way bigger than most narrow gauge clearances. I really wish that they had chosen the Whitcomb center cab that was used for the O...
I bought one of these because I needed a standard gauge locomotive to use as a test mule for my dual gauge trackage and switches until I finish my standard gauge 0-6-0.

I model primarily in 1/24 so 1/20.3 narrow gauge equipment is close to 1/24 standard gauge. I wanted something that would be easy to regauge and this proved to be a good choice. In ...

The Bachmann 45 Ton loco will dwarf your LGB equipment. It is a 1.20.3 scale model of a standard gauge switcher, re-gauged to 3 foot (45mm track). It looks large even on a 1:20.3 layout which is probably why it d... moreJon Radder said:

Jon is right on. I left mine 1:20.3 standard gauge. I built a few standard gauge cars to go with them.
Unless you chop them down a bit, they will look out of place at the head end of an 1:22.5 (LGB) train.

Unless you chop them down a bit, they will look out of place at the head end of an 1:22.5 (LGB) train.
I'm working on one now, turning it into 7/8 (2 foot). All it needs is a larger cab to get that done.

To do this I need 9 Bachmann Connnie axles.
So if you replaced your broken plastic gear with a new Axle and metel gear and have a spare axle lying around I could really use it.
