There is a lot more to narrow gauge than Colorado, fortunately.

I don't think that there was ever any question about there being 30-inch gauge prototypes in Europe and other far flung corners of the globe, Harold. The point of complaint was that they were extremely rare in the U.S.A., where either 24-inch or 36" gauge were the norm for narrow gauge railroads.

Having been in On30 since Bachmann started the "New Age" and even earlier, I believe I know the "complaint" against the C-16 and Mogul. It is difficult to "proto-freelance" if there is no similar prototype. What if narrow gauge in the USA came from a different seed, say Upper Silesia rather than England:

Maybe they all would be 30" gauge? Just "what if'in". Both Finnish locos are Brooks prototypes. I didn't know there were inside frame "30inch" locomotives that size.
