Hi Bach-Man,

Is there any thought of introducing some European models for On30? I think in particular, to U.S. Army 60cm Gauge Railway locos (steam or  gas mechanical) and rolling stock used in the First World War in France!

These locos and rolling stock were used of course at the end of the First World War In France (1917-1918) but not only!

Immediately after the armistice, the light railways were sold or given to the French and used to help in reconstruction…

They were used too by the U.S. army post-war, in different camps for example, at fort Benning (Georgia); fort Dix (New Jersey); fort Humphrey (Virginia), etc.

Locomotives and rolling stock were used too in domestic use post-war…in the U.S. and around the world like France (of course!); Brazil; Egypt; India; Australia…

Some locos and rolling stock are preserved in France by the APPEVA :

and in England by the LEIGHTON BUZZARD RAILWAY :

For more informations, look after the book : "Narrow Gauge To No Man's Land" By Rich Dunn, Benchmark…
