Howdy! I am one of those very few that model the Newfie RR in Sn42. CN, Grand Falls Central (using Jim Kings 70T) and ASARCo RR's are all represented on my RR. Most of my rolling stock is custom built. The stuff I can use is becoming very hard to find (WA Drake 6000g single dome tankcar) are very hard to find and still hunting for 5 more. I do have lots of the 40' PRS boxcars with narrow gauge trucks. These were used on the Island with the truck to truck transfer system once unloaded from the Rail Ferry. I have started a layout of sorts. Doing an around the wall concept. Work and Fire College to get my Capt's has taken up the last 2 years. So I just keep building models and have gotten help from a few good friends as well. Just completed 5 MOW bunk cars, AM gon and now pulp wood flats. May post a few pics! Have a great weekend.

It was gauged to 42" between the rails. Hence S scale rolling on H.O. scale track. It covered both steam and diesel eras. I think that many H.O. scale loco mechanisms could be converted to S use with new superstructures. Bowser and Mantua come to mind as possibly being useful. The Newfie also ran standard gauge cars from Canada by putting narrow gauge trucks under them. If I wasn't so heavy into trying to model the CNR in the northeast, I'd give the Newfie RWY a real good look. Modeling it offers a lot of usable stuff from both scales to model it. I thought we had a couple guys on the list modeling it? Going back to my lurker mode. O.K.
