Martin, You bring up an appropriate comment concerning the McCloud being a shortling and therefore of the same fraternity. I suppose this has been brought up before on this discussion forum, but could this forum possibility be expanded to explicitly include ALL shortline roads be it ng, std. and broad gauge? As tourist lines, ng and std. typically have the same goals and issues.
On our recent excursion to Colo./N. Mex., we stopped briefly at Ely, NV. Great museum! Except for the size, the Nevada Northern could have been a narrow gauge museum. Lots of locos and a great looking shop, which visitors are free to walk through.
Rypn is a great forum, but seems to me to discuss mostly the mainline excursions of the real big guys like the Challenger, 4449, 700 etc.
Maybe rename this forum the Shortline Discussion Forum? Comment Don R.?
