It occurred to me to ask: This object could probably have been modelled more EASILY in another program, but would it have looked better than this? I don't think so. I'm still in awe, pidjy.

What a dear little train! Diane

Excellent train model. It appears to be on fairly small guage tracks. What's it used for? I curious.

Great - a tender and some railway cars and a cabbose would look good with it.
pauljs75 posted Sat, 26 April 2003 at 1:57 AM
Ok... Back again... I'm gonna guess now as to what kind of train it is... The tracks appear on a bit of the narrow side so I'm guessing it's not a freight or even a typical passenger train... I'm thinking that it's either a mine train (but it seems tall for that purpose.) My other guess is that it's a mule train (which ran along sides of canals and would tend to barges and pull them along in lieu of a tug.)

great modelling. could use a little bit of texture diversity, but the modelling definitely is great.

Yes that's right, it's a narrow gauge train we still can found some in the east of France, switzerland and germany, this model is based on a 030 decauville Steamer. Regarding to the texture and the model itself, I've made it just for fun cause I like old timer trains, For the moment I didn't expect to make a scene with it.. but why not, I'll think of it:: Thank you for your comments: Cheers

Hey WoaH......wait a minute! We have narrow gauge railways here in Wales. Loads of them. This loco looks like one that runs from the town near where I live. The Vale of Rheidol NGR runs from Aberystwyth on the west coast of wales, up the vale to Devil's Bridge, a major tourist spot. The railway still stops at Halts along the 12miles to pick up/set down farmers and provisions for the locals. Pidjy's engine would not look out of place here,except for a coat of paint, and a good clean up! Well done, Pidjy! Excellent job.

Even here in California we had some narrow gauge. The logging train out of Boulder Creek was originally narrow gauge. there is a tourist trap in Felton with a running old narrow gauge train. If I remember correctly the old train out of yosemite was narrow gauge and there is the reminant which exists as a tourist trap outside the park on highway 41. Early steam engines here were narrow gauge until some clown decided that 'wider is better'. As I have probably remarked before I love them old trains - If I had a big enough yard, I'd have my own railroad.

The original designs for tracks, I'm talking George Stevenson here, were supposed to be very wide....6-7feet. But I think money decided the issue way back in 18hundred and frozentodeath.........

It's too bad there isn't more left of the narrow guage railroad that ran between Felton and Boulder Creek. Makes me glad that "Roaring Camp and Big Trees Railroad", in Felton, is there to keep the memory of those narrow gauge passenger and logging trains alive. It's knind of neat hearing the whistles on the steam locomotives they run echoing now and then through the mountains.

Alan-ASD, I lived near Henry Cowell(sp?) Park on hwy 9 in Felton for a couple of years - I heard the whistle and chugging of that old steam engine on a daily basis but I never as much as saw the engine. Now I regret not seeing it. BTW: If you're there in Felton, go by George's Log Cabin - If Old George is still alive he might still be growing the best roses I've ever seen. He more than likely doesn't remember me but ask him about those roses. - TJ
