Hi guys,
Thank you all very much for your help.
I have a builder to whom I will forward the 0-4-2T drawings when I obtain them.
I like the design of the Ward Kimball CHLOE and the Australian Fairymead but the boiler diameter is too small for a really attractive locomotive.
The Casper Lumber Company No. 2 DAISY has the " just right " boiler diameter with a cab front the same as the C P Huntington. Just perfect.
I really do not like the front cab window arrangement on the Ward Kimball Chloe cab and the Australian Fairymead cab. But that is the prototype.
I dunno, but I still maintain that Bachmann should have stayed with 1:22.5 scale at the " wrong " track gauge.
The choice of 1:20.3 Scale at the exact 3 foot scaled track gauge more than likely eliminated a large portion of the Bachmann Customer Northern United States and Canada indoor layout Large Scale modelers.
My 0-4-2T Daisy will be built at the " wrong " scale of 1/24 as this is my favorite physical size of model.
The gauge error does not come to mind at all.
Gauge O with the third center rail is annoying though!
It would be great if Marklin would produce a Gauge O stud rail track in the same fashion as their Gauge Half O stud rail track.
I wonder why MTH or Lionel have not built Gauge O stud rail track?
Thanks again,
Norman
