Ken,  Now if you can find an S Scale Pacific you could be off and running for Newfoundland Narrow Gauge in O Scale.  I was thinking of suggesting to Harold that he should look at the Newfoundland Railway for good ideas for Sn3 1/2. 

Hate to see the Rex 2-6-0 modified though, it's hard to come by anything in S scale in Saskatoon - OK it's impossible. LOL

Harold, Regarding your comments " If you blow up the pictures you can see the boiler in the cab and the micro-mark diagram shows the boiler dotted to the end of the cab. I was hoping it would be useful in S, but it isn't.

I have pretty much modeled in every scale. Back to the "one true scale" S. They finally made me an S scale RTR standard gauge steamer."

Is the 2-6-0 useful for converting to S?  How about the Climax? Also any other conversions you know of would be helpful.

The Canadian Collieries Rwy needs three of the ten wheelers to go with the consolidations.  The new 4-4-0 looks nice but doesn't fit with our operations.  I really like the snowplow on the 4-6-0.  In fact it looks so good we may have to move our coal mines from Vancouver Island to places further north.

Brad,  I moved to Saskatoon almost 3 years ago and went to Confed mall and saw the layouts - I meant to get involved but kind of ran out of time.  I will have to make time for it soon.

Hi Brad,  I used 1/8 inch thick basswood cut a scale 9 inches (3/16 inches) wide and a scale 6 feet (1 -1/2 inches) long.  I used it with Peco On30 turnouts and it looks pretty good.  The Peco On30 track has ties a scale 5 feet long and I thought they looked too short.  The two foot gauge Sandy River and Rangely Lakes used ties 5 inches by 5 inches by 5 feet long but they looked too small to me.  I cut the basswood from sheetstock using a balsa stripper ( you need two passes to do it in basswood).  I am rebuilding my layout and am continuing to use the same tie size as I like the look. 

Before the rebuild I had some track laid with code 70 rail and it worked fine.  The current railway will have code 100 because it is cheaper and easier to get where I live.

I for one would love to have parts available.  Things like brake wheels, ladders, turnbuckles, queen posts, and brake cylinders.  These would be really useful for scratchbuilding.  I know that these are all available from other manufacturers, notably Grandt Line, but by the time I source them and get them shipped here they just cost too much.
