Thanks, I'll check that out.

I used to visit there when I was a kid and then once a bit later. South Carver is about 70 miles south of me on the South Shore. I'm located on the New Hampshire border.

The B&M Flying Yankee streamliner has been moved to the Conway Scenic for restoration to operating condition.

Looks like a highly entertaining route. I do see a lot of specially created content however. The RR crossing signs are unique. I wonder if some of the DHR 2-foot gauge track might work well, especially across the bogs. The rolling stock might be a problem as well.

Narrow Gauge (Peter) made some old Maine Narrow Gauge locomotives and coaches. They're a bit old now but they do work. There's some track from Trainboi1 that might work.

The track circled the bogs with no real ballast except for sand from what I can remember.

Yep, I went to the Sir Gibby site yesterday and yes, the two footer Stock and locos there still work great! I downloaded the Trs 2009 versiod of the locos.
To Narrowgauge, I tried emailing you but it bounced back. Would you consider either reskinning or allowing me to reskin these for the Edaville route??

For those whom may not know of Sir Gibby's site -
The Locos and rolling stock we are speaking of are found here:
