Hey all,
I caught the bug. My family & I visited the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railway this summer and now I have been inspired to model it. Thing is, I've always been an N scale person and have never had any dabblings in narrow guage.
I have read through most of the posts on this string and learned a lot but still have some other questions.
Question - I want a K-36 class mudhen 2-8-2 engine #484 or #487. I know that is awfully specific. The C&TSR has a gauge of 3'. Does that mean I would be looking for something in HOn3? Does anyone know if such a critter is available commercially (plus track and turnouts and rolling stock or coaches)? I don't understand the abbreviations for narrow gauge but this is my best guess. I'm not much of a kitbasher but I fear that is the only way I will achieve my goal. If that's the case, it will probably never happen.
Sorry for the jumble of questions. Any help would be appreciated.
The link shows pictures of the engine and coaches I want...
