Aster does not produce any american narrow gauge stuff anymore. The did make a 3 truck Climax, 2 truck Alisan Shay and a CS Mogul. The moguls are still available in electric and gas. Al of the engines were built in a range of scales from 1:22 and 1:23 Hans has no plans to ever make a narrowgauge loco again and will only do large mainline stg gauge. Reasoning is sales wouldnt match what the stg gauge stuff does. How many people would buy a $8,000 K28 when you can get one for $4,500 from Accucraft Of course the thinks you done get are batter boilers, fittings, pumps details. And for the most part all the locomotives will run the same....Thats just a few things that you get for the Aster price along with a true scale locomotive.
Tha log cars you see are from 1977 I think and were made with the Alisan Shay. The price is way out there and they normally sel on ebay for about 100.00 each when sold by a normal seller. With hartford and Accucraft there are many better options for log cars unless you want to model Jananese railways logging operarions witht he Alisan Shay.
You have quite a bit on order for a 13 year old. Wish I had that kind of support and funds back then. Im 28 and still cant get everything I want.
