Does anyone know a web site where I can see the complete prototypical Tweetsie train? I know it was a narrow gauge train, but I keep finding conflicting images of how many cars it has and their color scheme. Some show 1 car, some show 2, it seems they all vary. What seems to be the most complete was the loco, then red car, then yellow car, then green car, then yellow car, then finally a green car with yellow section above the windows. They all had black roofs with a black section above windows and gray section below the windows, with exception of the last car, which was green all the way down, below the windows and a yellow section between the windows and black roof. I am starting a project to build the Tweetsie in HO scale and want to keep it prototypical as possible. But then I might have a problem finding a narrow gauge in HO scale. It seems these are all manufactured in ON30 scale. All feedback will be greatly appreciated, especially with leads to images on the web.
Hi Chuff
I understand your frustration, a person needs pictures and all you get is a bunch of text about a railroad. Even Tweetsie-railroad.com has more people pictures than cars.

Here are a bunch of other links that might help.

Good luck in your search.
denver public library had a few:http://photoswest.org:8080/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?resultsScreen+17605+1+3+0 (http://photoswest.org:8080/cgi-bin/cw_cgi?resultsScreen+17605+1+3+0)
The colors on the coaches go from Red 1st yellow 2nd green 3rd then yellow then red. They have a special EBT coach used on special days. It's painted in the old ET&WNC Scheme. There are HOn3 ET&WNC 4-6-0s being offerd by Train & Trooper. I think they might be sold out though. If you want to see the complete set. Go to youtube and type in Tweetise Railroad. If you can't pull up youtube; try to google Tweetsie.
Rock On!
