| Pictures taken of the finished inner loop of the G1 track. The steam locos belong to Jim Crabb, and the freight cars belong to Jim Cash. The little 0-4-0 is called Sammie, and the larger green loco is a Prairie 2-6-2. Both are fired on butane. |

October 12, 2002 Gauge 1 Track Construction Begins | |||
|
HALS has had plans on the "drawing board" for a Gauge 1 Track for some time and construction officially began today. Spear-headed by Tom Herbert, materials were purchased by members who are interested in Gauge 1 Railroading. The Gauge 1 track is located adjacent to the gazebo, near the turntable and the steaming bays for the 7-1/2" gauge trains. It is a "dogbone" shape, which will be 40 feet wide and 145 feet long! Average height is 42". Gauge 1 Railroading is scaled at 1:32 (or 1:30) with distance between rails of 45mm (1-3/4 inches). Click on picture to enlarge. |
