January 2008Surprise, surprise, it turns out that there is a 7¼" gauge railway not far from where we used to live in Cambridge. I received an email from the owner to come and visit his line one morning in January 2008. The mainline is about 1000' long and makes for a nice run around their 1.5 acres of land. Grant allowed me to have a drive of his NZR DA-class loco, but has promised me a drive of his 2-6-2 when it is in steam. It is pretty big as 7¼" gauge locos go and it takes a while to raise steam, so it'll have to wait for another day.
Grant's battery-electric NZR DA-class "diesel"
Me driving the DA approaching the tunnel But the real gem has got to be his Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes 2-6-2 #24
This is one fine looking loco.
