Gauge One America 0-6-0 PRR switcher by DJH

fredlub · Aug 18, 2024

The company "Gauge One America" tried to popularize gauge 1 in the USA about 40 years ago. They commissioned models like the NYC Hudson and the PRR K4s from ASTER and American passenger and freight cars from J&M Models. They commissioned also a USA gauge 1 0-6-0 switcher locomotive from the English company DJH, known makers of 0 and 00 scale kits. Here you can see that DJH locomotive and some of the J&M freight cars, as well as some other cars from Row & Co and Samhongsa and a FAM PRR caboose, all from the 1980s.

It may be an "Oldie" but it sure looks to be a "Goodie"!

Ironically that I found this. I own Aster gauge 1 Penn K4, Ny Hudson and the J&M Pennsy Pullmans. And several Fine Art Models. They may have been from this initiative.

The Fine Art Models were not from that initiative by "Gauge One America".
