Does anyone on here model this railway? Watched a show on Netflix last night about this great narrow gauge railway, about an hour long, and fell in love!! Alcos running around, even a 2-8-2 that's been restored! And the scenery, oh my!! Would make a great layout!
I know there has been brass (HO) made in the past, of their various diesels. So there has been some interest in modeling this operation.
Awesome ride. However, I doubt I will ever model it. Some day I do plan on an Nn3 narrow gauge layout, only Denver & Rio Grande between Durango and Silverton. No real grade, just try to create the illusion of one with lots of mountains and canyons and the trees leaning slightly "up hill".
I’m still holding on to hope that Bachmann will release models of the Alco diesels that run on the WP&Y in On30.
There's a couple of the GE "Shovel nose" types on Ebay right now in HOn30, brass of course, for $1,250.00 each!
They have summer, too! Typically 65 -70 degrees F and near 24 hour daylight at summer solstice. I motorcycled that in 1984 when the train was down and have a brake shoe from trackside.
Don't model it but have ridden on it twice. Busy little RR during the summer when cruise ships pull into Skagway in each day.
