What scale/gauge argument?

I
There were NO 30 inch gauge COMMON CARRIER railroads in America.

   Strange Bachmann would build a OF 2-8-0 used in common carrier service in North America Ferrocarril de Mexicano operated on the Zacatlan branchline.

   Jack work had some excellent construction articles in MR, saved a few myself.
I believe it was Gib Kennedy who did the Kettle Valley Express passenger train
series, correct me if I am wrong.

   Would be neat to have all of Jack's and Gib's articles in one book from Kalmbach.
  Guy can dream. The plans and information is as valed today as when the first appeared.

    Am I a Craftsman?, in the process of converting a Bachmann HO USRA 2-6-6-2
  into a Kitson-Meyer 2-6-6-2T for my RR.  Chassis up and running after a few!
  minor glitchs. Now for the body. Reversing the rear set of drivers causes a few
  nasty words!.
