[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith [quote]Originally posted by John Busby vsmith shouldn't the small locomotives you mention have a toy like caracter to them the prototypes did. Well at least I think they have a certain toy like charm about then which is what makes them such a marketable product as a model... regards John [/quote] John, Yes and No, depending on where you look. Some cane trains like in Hawaii were colorfull and had a toylike charm, but others like in Cuba had a very beat up, dirty working for a living feal, like US logging and mining lines had. I've always been interested in these small lines but my appeal has always been more for the grimey workaday lines, not the candy-covered ones. Hi vsmith Thats both options covered Well care worn Cuba for the great indoors where the effort it takes is worth it and colourfull Hawaii for the great out doors[:D] All my knowledge about US railroads came from books and they allways showed bright colourfull trains which is probably why I thought they all where. regards John
