Thanks again for all the imput particularly on the archbar trucks. I have found a copy of White's book on abebooks so it is on its way. I do intend to scratchbuild almost everything as this has been a lifetime goal of mine.I would like to add that his is one of the most helpfull groups that I have joined thanks again. By the way I also intend to scratchbuild the locos. my first a 2-4-0 narrow gauge is underway using bits and parts from mantua and mdc ho locos.
