ON30 Gauge Model Train Layout Question

May 23, 2007

Here is a question from a model railroader in New Zealand who has just purchased a pilot train; an ON30 gauge Bachmann 28 ton Chey loco and rolling stock. He is working on a layout that could be 20-30 yards long and will be based on 19th century trains a lot of which came from the USA. Here is his question which fellow model railroaders might like to offer some help with:

“Where/who is the best source of 19th century, ON30 gauge, logging type trains,
rolling stock, buildings, scenery and DCC equipment?”

The model train enthusiast is also looking for “distressed” buildings and model trains which look as though they have had some service and been around for some time. This is for reality purposes.
