Here is a wild hare, hair or whatevhair.
Being that I've wanted to build the Gilpin Tram, however, not in large scale as no room for it, I thought about utlizing teh Bachmann On30 T boiler shay - modify the shay into the Gilpin # 1. HOWEVER, 2 foot narrow gauge based upon the 16mm track (On30, HO width). Being so, this would require the engines, ore cars, cabeese and all other sorts to scale out to 1:37 (I believe my guzintus is correct). I've have blue line drawings of the # 1 and would have to scale it as required.
Thoughts?
