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.

All of the West Coast logging railroads were standard gauge. None of that wimpy narrow gauge stuff for us.  The logs were too big.

Wellll, that is not quite the case, there were dozens and dozens of small operations in narrow gauge (36 ...  

Cass here in WVA was/is standard gauge.

So can you tell us a bit more about your "vision"?

I got this McKeen car from Robert's Lines, he did the Zephyr  I have and my metal streetcar.

Weren’t the Rotarys standard gauge on narrow gauge trucks?

Weren’t the Rotarys standard gauge on narrow gauge trucks?

Hi Matt,
The reason I mentioned o-gauge standards is that at 1.25" gauge, the gauge scales to 36-1/4" inches in 1:29, which is pretty close. 
It also allows the use of existing dual gauge track:
(Sunset Valley dual gauge)...  moreHi Matt,

And the use of O-gauge mechanisms for any narrow gauge locomotives you may build.
Just a thought

Matt,
So are you making it run on 45mm track or larger 1:20.3 standard gauge track?

Hi Craig,
The prototype is standard gauge. My model, like the prototype, will be equipped with dual gauge couplers which enable it to switch standard gauge and narrow gauge equipment.
 
Cheers,
Matt
