Ok,

What do you want? There were more than a few 2 foot + narrow gauge systems in the Uk (and elsewhere). If you could give me some idea I could direct you further.

Click on the home page icon and then go to DIAGRAMS and then BIG DIAGRAMS... The Big Diagrams files are very large.

regards

Not sure which kind of rolling stock you're after, so generically speaking, look at the magazine index that's part of Trains.com and do a search for any of the 2' gauge maine railways. (Sandy River & Rangely Lakes; Monson; Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington, etc.) Your best bet would be to limit your search to the Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette, but other magazines may have published plans as well.

Also, check out Maine 2-foot Quarterly. http://www.maine2footquarterly.com/ They'll likely have plenty of resources for you. If they don't have plans specifically, they likely have a list of books which may contain plans.

Once you have a few sources for plans, you can either search them out yourself (highly recommended--the photos in the books are great resources) or ask on this or other forums if anyone has the specific plans.

There's a 7/8" scale (2' gauge running on 45mm track) discussion group on Yahoo.com also. Some of those folks hang out here, others don't. If you're doing 2'--either on 45mm or 32mm, it may be worth checking into so to be able to pick the members' brains for more information.

Good luck.

Later,

K

No, problem!!!

I presume you are looking for NGG14 by Hanomag or the main NGG13+16 by Beyer Peacock?

Alternatively some of the Saxony 600 and 750mm Meyers (class ITV) may be what you want?

German carriages are pretty simple look at any LGB coach and that is a German coach -basically a roof, a box, and two balconies!!!

Let me know and I will scan it for you.

yes I am looking at the south african ngg16 and ng15 but also at the german 91 class 2-10-2 tanks. As for the carriages I am more interested in the east german corridor stock.

these locomotives were really large for there gauge. I have been skimming over the plans on the pute and they are really big locomotives. How they maintain an axle load of less than 8 tons is incredibly surprising.
thanks again
