blind drivers
#7
The HO scale, Sag Harbor Shipbuilding and Dry-dock Company, had to blind two sets of drivers on their 3' gauge 2-8-2. The other 2-8-2 was converted to a 2-4-4-2. Their 2-6-6-2 didn't need to have any blind drivers, because the short wheelbases were able to follow the tight curves in the ship yard, without any problems.
Wink SHS&D, and the Sagaponack Montauk & Cindys Harbor ( SM&CH ) are both owned and operated by the Shipyard.
A convenient way of modeling what I like, even though it never really existed.
The 30" gauge Wiscasset Bucksport & Schoodic Point RR, in O scale is another wholly owned subsidiary. It operates Shays, but the General Manager of the line, is hoping to have a 30" gauge 2-6-6-2 built by the Ship yard, once revenue is strong enough to afford it.
SHS&D's 2-4-4-2, on the dual gauge high line, several miles inland from Cindys Harbor seaport, over the upper Kennequogue River.
   
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
