No problem with the driver mode, I use DCC most of the time just commenting on things that need looking into.
Who is interested in the SR&RL and Maine 2 footers? Post here.

Harking back to a post by Montanawestern.
Would the Bridgton & Saco River #5 be about what you are looking for? No promises but I will put it on the list.

Hey,
Just downloaded the SRRL stock from the DLS, and I've noticed that some of them are missing some assets that cannot be found on the DLS. Would anyone know where I can find these?

I'm having the same problem, I'm new to the 2 foot railroading but I'm missing the same assets that Thule_p is missing

I can give you two of the missing items but not kuid:68213:60037 which is on the DLS. It is build 3.3 so if you don't have TS12 available you may not see it. It is a cow, there might be another you can use that may fit

You can do no harm by asking, if it interests me I might say yes.

I'm not sure if you have heard of the Wabash Frisco and Pacific railroad but I'm a volunteer with the railroad and for awhile I've trying to find someone who could make the models for me it's a little smaller than narrow gauge, it's live steam! it would be a big order but it's and total of 14 engines and 40 pieces of rolling stock to make every part of the railroad come to life, here's the website for more information,http://www.wfprr.com/, some pages are not as up to date as I'd like them to be so contact me for any pictures or videos

Interesting but not for me. I'm afraid. There is an alternative that you could consider, use existing locos and scale up the people and surrounds. It would be fairly simple to make passenger carrying cars to their design, buildings could be made to match. Track could be made to scale up their rail and ties. You may think this weird, but it has possibilities. There is no reason why a Trainz route has to be made 1:1 scale. A single board would be ~153 metres square. Every thing except the trains and track would need to be made 4.7 times larger.

narrow, me and my friend were considering that but it would bother to do that, I'm fine with you not wanting to do it, but I'm just wondering if my friend made the models could you see about maybe making the wheels? our other option would be what you stated and he's not that good at scaling up people and buildings lol. hope to hear from you soon.
I was out and about yesterday and spotted a book at a RR swap meet. I bought it, it's called Maine Two Footers and it's thick! Tons of pictures, maps, etc from all of the 2ft stuff in the New England area. I grew up at Edaville in the steam days during the 1980's, spent many trips riding and helping in the various engines so these are something I have great interest in. If you need any info from the book let me know, I could even ship it over to you to read or use if it would be any help.
Thanks,
Mike

[The small Masons were used on the BRB&L too before that line was electrified.]
The Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn was a three-foot gauge line. As such, their coaches were close to normal size. Note also that after electrification, the BRB&L acquired a few Boston streetcars which were re-gauged down from standard gauge to provide mid-day service. Finally, after abandonment, the right of way from what is now Airport station to what is now Wonderland Station was rebuilt for the Blue Line subway.
It is my understanding (I could be wrong) that the BRB&L coaches were acquired by the East Broad Top RR (also 3 foot gauge). Note to somebody else, those were wood coaches, not heavy steel construction.

It's even more interesting that they used their wooden coaches as motorcars when they electrified. They took the old wood cars, which they got from Laconia Car Works and I think the EBT, and put the motors in them after they trashed their Masons. I had a book on the BRB&L, but I can't find it. (I moved and stuff has been packed away). My grandmother used to ride it when it was in full swing. She said it cost 10-cents to go from East Boston to Lynn where she switched to an Eastern Mass. trolley on her way to Marblehead. This would be in the 1925-1930 era.

Thanks for the offer, if I lived in the same state I would grab at it. To send it to Australia is a bit too far. I have a bunch of books from BHI Publications which probably provides all the rolling stock and loco details I need., I'm happy with those.
