Hi, I have been looking at a SLIM GAUGE NEWS Magazine from winter 1972, it was loaned to me because it has an article about the Wycoff Company wood treatment plant in Washington State and shows some pictures of my narrow gauge (36") 20 ton Plymouth gas mechanical model HL-4, CN 2533 working at the plant.
My question is about an advertiser in the magazine advertising Narrow Gauge "HARP" switch stands, D&RGW, 2 1/2" scale, 19 1/2" high and used for bookends, live steam, or mantle piece, cost $22.50. Ralph's Railroad 8223 Adams way Denver, Colorado 80221
Does anyone on the list have one of these 2 1/2" scale harp switch stands? Is it for sale?
Is Ralph's still in business in Denver?
I would like to add one of these harps to my collection of harp switch stands. I have an original dated 1872 CCRR, Colorado Central RR and a reproduction harp marked C&TS I am told it is 1 of 5 made.
If you know of any scale harp switch stands for sale, please contact me back channel.
Thank you,
Smitty
