Woodie: As promised, I dug into my deep, dark, storage closet to find out what HO goodies I had lurking there. First, let's talk about the boxcars I thought were in green and orange. Not exactly: ![]() In boxcar red: two versions of the 50' double door boxcar and one 40' single door. But nice kits none the less. Now to talk about the narrow gauge diesel. Note the singular. ![]() This is a model of the SP #1 used briefly by the SP on one of their acquired narrow gauge branches to replace a steam locomotive. It was only in service a few years, but it is a quite little number. ![]() And I mean "little". What is interesting is that there is another set of wheels and truck side frames in the box. Narrow gauge as well. I thought they might be HOn30 at first. Nope. HOn3. Strange. ![]() Second "narrow gauge" diesel is not narrow gauge at all, but is a standard gauge GE 44 tonner by Keystone. ![]() It is very thoroughly a kit: ![]() Which assembles into a very standard, and standard gauge, GE 44 ton switcher. ![]() I already have a GE 44 ton locomotive by Bachmann in green and orange. Photo to come shortly. I also have another Accurail GN boxcar, this one definitely in green and orange, in a box on top of a bookcase in my den. It will be unboxed and added to the rolling stock. Reg
