I built a model of one about 40 years ago as a teenager, not long after I started reading local resident Bob Brown's Narrow Gauge Gazette.

That is the style of the model I am building.<br />Tony ThompsonTony Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593061828601275378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218524178230712938.post-78413920313234311102015-04-07T16:28:29.572-07:002015-04-07T16:28:29.572-07:00Tony, Great choice of structures!
