I model in On3, O scale 3 foot narrow gauge. I have 2 favorite loco purchases that are going to pretty hard to choose between. the SP purchased a narrow gauge line from the Carson and Colorado in the Owens Valley of California. Towards the end of operations they had 3 steamers running, 8,9,and 18. I purchased 18 about 20 years ago when Presision made about 80 of them. I LOVE the looks of this engine with its whaleback tender. The other favorite is a Colorado and Southern 70, in oil burner configuration. This loco 'reeks' narrow gauge with lots of neat do dads and detail texture, including 2 small airtanks mounted crosswisw on top of the boiler, between the domes. <br /> <br />My favorite FUTURE locomotive purchase WILL be Nevada County Narrrow Gauge 8, a heavily modified C-16 pulling a whaleback tender. A few were built and imported 2 decades ago, and today are very scarce. HOWEVER.....Jerry Kitts and his son at Foothill Model Works are working up a tender and correct details to convertthe new plastic C-16 kit onto a very accurate number 8. Perhaps this winter..... <br />Jennifer <br />
