Re: narrow gauge passenger cars

Ok well thanks for the info. Now I know my car is about the right size. I will try and get those books as I have no books on the D&RG even though it is so interesting to me. I have some more questions. This is from a modeling standpoint. I have personally never done something like this before. My grandfather is going to help me and he knows just about everything there is to know about working with wood. One question he had for me was what kind of wood should we use for this project? He has never worked with such small wood sizes before and would like to know what would be the best for this. I plan to build the car just like original cars. The framing will be the same as the real thing. Dose anyone know if they have pre sized lumber for this in at least three foot lengths. Thanks again.
