The Hinkley, Minnesota 3' guage line had just finished being built and the park was not yet open when I stopped on a trip to the Duluth Transportation Museum. They were having trouble with excessive flange wear with the 2-6-0. It turned out they had VERY tight curves and did not understand super-elevating curves and easements. I spent more time there than I planned! Anyway, the point is the D&RGW long caboose is a model! I could stand in it and look out of the cupola! It is a beautiful car! The park was going to be a Heritage Square type of operation. JP
