Croocked Mountain Line
Posted by Hawx on Thursday, December 22, 2011 5:24 AM

Hi,

I am a great fan of the modelling done by the late Bob Hegge. His boxcabs where a great inspiration, and was probably an important reason for me choosing to model electric engines in 0-scale. (The picture is of a scratchbuilt pantograph for one of my models)

But what happened to Bob Hegges models? I hope they are taken good care of by people that appreciate them.

Any recent photographs would be much appreciated!

Bob Hegge's Crooked Mountain Lines was along with Allen's G&D and Furlow's San Juan Central probably the biggest reasons I'm still in model railroading today. Its one of my favorite layouts.

I asked a similar question a while ago looking for more published information on the line and got these responses;

I have since gotten the issue of MR that featured the layout and I got the NMRA commemorative "Crooked Mountain Lines" boxcar for my LS line.

   Have fun with your trains

Welcome to the forums!

Have you also tried google for your subject?

Geeked

Just my thoughts, ideas, opinions and experiences. Others may vary.

 HO and N Scale.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.

Sure, google was my first try.

I have also used the MR-magazine index to find everything published on the Croocked Mountain.

But the big question remains:

Where are those impressing boxcab electrics today?

Hauk
