[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by wjstix BTW since somebody mentioned LGB - the Lake George & Boulder was the outdoor model railroad of Charles Small, in the early seventies he wrote an article for MR about his LGB layout in his backyard. He may have been the first LGB modeller in the US, he travelled a lot in his work and came across LGB stuff overseas. Since the locomotives and rolling stock were labelled "LGB" for Lehmann GrossBahn he had to come up with a RR name using those initials, hence "Lake George and Boulder" referring to Colorado and it's narrow guage railroads. [/quote] That's interesting - I was wondering how they'd hit on "Lake George & Boulder". I have a couple of their "Toytrain" flatcars lettered for this line (given to me by a friend in return for helping out on his trade stand at a train show a few years ago), they don't get much run time as they don't really suit the rest of my collection (German, Austrian and Swiss Metre Gauge), but they're handy for hauling loads I don't want anywhere near my more expensive stock (drinks, etc). Thanks for sharing the information!
