Re: Pictures of Narrow Gauge Diesels

Folks,
The steel industry in Pennsylvania and elsewhere gave several small gas and Diesels to the museums. The WW&F Ry Museum has a 1.5 ton gas "Critter" #51 and the same
museum has #52 a hard working Diesel from Carpenter Steel. And those locomotives are even making their way to Colorado. The D&RGW and now the Colorado Railroad Museum
has a 3 foot gauge loco from Algoma Steel in Canada. And do ont forget the Diesels that ran in recent years on the East Broad Top.

But my favorite is the Sumpter Valley #100 pictured above. It worked the Sumpter Valley and then was converted to standard gauge in Idaho. Then the Sumpter Valley folks converted
it back to narrow gauge and have pictures of it running on their web site.

My fantasy is to see both the Sumpter Valley locomotives run together in Golden. They can't go the other way as the Golden people will not let their Sumpter and D&RGW locomotive
leave the property. They hosted six Galloping Geese; so how about two Sumpter Valley locomotives?

It is true that there are a lot more of them in Europe than there were in the United States. There is even a British miniature railway, the 15" Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway that
has a couple of Diesels for track work.
