Dear Mr. Bachmann,


Here is a DELTON 0-4-2T locomotive image that was never produced,

Here is a 30 Inch Gauge PORTER locomotive image that ran on a CUBA Sugar Cane Plantation,

CUBA - Central Espartaco sugar mill - no.1 Porter 0-4-2 of 1884
CENTRAL ESPARTIACO SUGAR MILL No. 1 ( Very close to DELTON 0-4-2T BUT with Inclined Steam Cylinders )
CUBA - Central Espartaco sugar mill's 2ft 6in Gauge Porter built 0-4-2 built in 1884.
World Railways - Railway Photo Galley - Central Espartaco had a 2ft 6in gauge system bringing cane to the sugar mill. The locos included a Baldwin 2-8-0 of 1895, a Porter 0-4-2 dated 1884 and a Henshel built 0-4-0 firelss from 1914.

DELTON was 1/24 Scale which equals O Gauge PECO SM32 Track Gauge at 30 Inch Gauge.

G Scale is 1/22.5 Scale ( Call 1/24 Scale as close enough to 1/22.5 Scale )


How about a New Produce Line of either a DELTON 0-4-2T locomotive or of a PORTER 0-4-2T locomotive

at 1/22.5 Scale at 30 Inch Prototype Track Gauge to run on either

PECO SM32 O Gauge 2 Rail Track or ATLAS O Gauge 2 Rail Track ?


That would open a New Market of " Large Scale " Trains for Apartment Condo Dwellers with curves of 2 Foot Radius or possibly even tighter.
