Re: Newest Narrow Gauge Loco

I have reviewed my previous posts and find nothing which justifies the tone of the most recent posting in this thread. I use a handle as do a great many others in this forum. I am truly sorry if this offends you. Bluntly put i do not understand what your beef is.
i am well aware of the SA lines and their track gauges, i never said anything about the SA lines not being narrow gauge, nor did i say anything about them not being appropriate for inclusion this forum. I have very fond memories of seeing the "60s" working out of the Humewood Road yard back in the 1950s.
I for one certainly enjoyed the photos you posted.
i am quite well aquainted with ng uk locomotives and have spent some time working on Hudswells Hunsletts and have great personal appreciation for the garrett.
I have never even mentioned in any of my recent postings in this forum Porter so i have no idea of what your point is in saying
"The products of H.K. Porter were very rare in the UK hence I know little about them so am not well placed to comment."
The definition of a class 1 railroad was adopted in 1930 D&RGW NARROW GAUGE operations considered alone even at that date would not have met the definition of Class 1. (D&RGW met the class 1 standard in 1930 on the basis of their standard gauge lines. In 1930 there were 132 class 1 railroads (US), today there are 7 (US))
Since it is apparent that your purpose of continued posting in this forum is to be offended where there is no cause for offence I will take my leave of you, if you have a problem you are welcome to e mail directly to me just like everybody else.
